Controversial Steve King's racial statement has got top Dem Pelosi involved. Some GOP officials are trying to implicate DGP's wingman Cedric Richmond in this scandal also after he made sexual joke about Trump's top adviser Kellyanne Conway.

Nancy Pelosi To Paul Ryan: Strip Steve King Of His Chairmanship
The Iowa congressman is in hot water over racist remarks.
By Daniel Marans
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is calling on House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and other Republican leaders to remove Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) as chairman of the House Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Rights in the wake of the Iowa congressman’s white nationalist comments.
Pelosi first called for King to be stripped of the powerful position after King praised Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders on Sunday for understanding that “we can’t restore our civilization with somebody else’s babies.”
King subsequently refused to apologize for the remarks, saying Monday that, “If you go down the road a few generations, or maybe centuries, with the inter-marriage, I’d like to see an America that is just so homogenous that we look a lot the same.” Also on Monday, King told a radio show that “the Hispanics and the blacks will be fighting each other before” they overtake the white population in size.
Pelosi reiterated her calls for his removal after it became clear he was unrepentant, she said in a Tuesday statement.
Ryan’s office is not commenting on Pelosi’s demands, referring The Huffington Post to Ryan’s previous comments stating that he “clearly disagrees [with King] and believes America’s long history of inclusiveness is one its great strengths.”
“We’ll get back to you on this just as soon as Nancy Pelosi responds to the grotesque sexual comment a member of her caucus made about a senior female White House aide. The hypocrisy is striking,” said AshLee Strong, a spokeswoman for Ryan.
Strong was referring to a sexist joke that Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-La.) made about White House counselor Kellyanne Conway.
