House GOP Leaders Remove Steve King from Committee Assignments

14 Jan 2019

House Republican leaders voted Monday to remove Rep. Steve King (R-IA) from all of his assigned committees after the Iowa Republican came under fire for his comments about white nationalism in a New York Times interview.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) announced Monday that the Republican Steering Committee voted not to give King any committee assignments in the current session of Congress.

McCarthy, in his statement announcing the decision, called King’s comments “beneath the dignity of the Party of Lincoln and the United States of America.”

Weekly Standard's John Podhoretz Calls Steve King A 'Disgusting Liar And A Stain On American Public Life'

“Steve’s remarks are beneath the dignity of the Party of Lincoln and the United States of America. His comments call into question whether he will treat all Americans equally, without regard for race and ethnicity,” McCarthy said in a statement.

“House Republicans are clear: We are all in this together, as fellow citizens equal before God and the law. As Congressman King’s fellow citizens, let us hope and pray earnestly that this action will lead to greater reflection and ultimately change on his part,” McCarthy added.

In the previous session of Congress, King had served on the House Agriculture, Judiciary, and Small Business committees. He also chaired the House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice and was on his way to becoming a ranking member of that committee in the current session before the Steering Committee’s vote.

The Iowa Republican decried the committee’s decision as a “political decision that ignores the truth,” adding that the committee misinterpreted his remarks.

King faced pushback on Thursday after he told the Times that he raised questions about why the terms “white nationalist” and “white supremacist” are considered offensive.

His comments caused an uproar, prompting Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to call his remarks “unworthy” of the office he holds.

“If he doesn’t understand why ‘white supremacy’ is offensive, he should find another line of work,” McConnell said.

King released a statement clarifying his comments soon after the Times article went live, stating that the Times‘ assumption that he was “an advocate for white nationalism” was incorrect.

King also “condemned” people who support bigotry and rejected “those labels and the evil ideology that they define.

All of the stories seem to be missing any actual statements from King, and certainly nothing that is in full context. What did he say?

Neocons. Podheretz. The merchants.

Do the democrats ever self-police like the republicans do? It's hilarious. Somewhere Samuel Francis is smiling and nodding.

[Anti Federalist]

All of the stories seem to be missing any actual statements from King, and certainly nothing that is in full context. What did he say?

The exact quote from the NYT:


Mr. King, in the interview, said he was not a racist. He pointed to his Twitter timeline showing him greeting Iowans of all races and religions in his Washington office. (The same office once displayed a Confederate flag on his desk.)

At the same time, he said, he supports immigrants who enter the country legally and fully assimilate because what matters more than race is “the culture of America” based on values brought to the United States by whites from Europe.

“White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization — how did that language become offensive?” Mr. King said. “Why did I sit in classes teaching me about the merits of our history and our civilization?”

Heresy!

Impure!!

Burn him!!!

[Brian4Liberty]

King used the time to say he "made a freshman mistake" talking with a New York Times reporter without recording the interview.

"But one phrase in that long article has created an unnecessary controversy," King said. "That was my mistake."
...
“White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization — how did that language become offensive?” King told the Times reporter. “Why did I sit in classes teaching me about the merits of our history and our civilization?”

On the House floor, King said the quote was taken out of context. King argued he was saying terms like white supremacist, white nationalist and Nazi were "almost always unjustly labeling otherwise innocent people."

"It was about how those words got plugged into our dialogue, not when the words became offensive, which is what the technical interpretation of it is," King said. "It's how did that offensive language get injected into our political dialogue."
...

That’s the best I can find. King claims he was talking about how did those become terms to smear people who it probably didn’t really apply to (innocent).

That is a “freshman mistake” all right. What fool, let alone a politician, thinks that they can have an open intellectual conversation with a NYT reporter? And with conflicting reports of the context of such a conversation, who would believe the NYT fake news? They have proven themselves time and again to at the least be biased spinners, who often either lie through omission, or just outright lie.

Seems like a bad statement from King, but considering the sources, skepticism is prudent before stringing people up.

I just heard that King is now doing a major kowtow. He even mentioned the 6 million.

He just cut off his own balls to keep his seat.

The Party of Lincoln indeed.

[Brian4Liberty]

GOP leadership should have asked the NYT reporters for a recording of the full interview. Taking action based upon a “news” report is not the actions of a good leader.

[RJB]

When I was a fireman, we were told NEVER talk to the press. At first I thought that was silly, but then I watched a reporter interview a few of us for something benign. They didn't write down anywhere near the full quote in their notebooks. Maybe four words written per twenty spoken. When it was written up in the newspaper, it resembled what we said, but words were used that none of us spoke. Basically, the reporter wrote what he wanted to get across If I were a politician, I would never speak to the press without an audio recording.



That is a “freshman mistake” all right. What fool, let alone a politician, thinks that they can have an open intellectual conversation with a NYT reporter? And with conflicting reports of the context of such a conversation, who would believe the NYT fake news?

[Krugminator2]

I dislike Steve King but is European culture superior? Of course it is. Every Hispanic and black country and almost all Asian and Arab countries are shitholes. Facts aren't racist. The problem with Steve King's statement isn't factual inaccuracy. The problem is he phrased things in a way that was bound to get this response.

England, Scandanavia, and United States are successful. It used to drive me berserk when the leftists who supported Ron would act the United States is nothing special. The fact of the matter is the United States is the most successful human experiment in world history. And that success is attributable to the ideas of a few dead white guys.

[NorthCarolinaLiberty]

McCarthy, in his statement announcing the decision, called King’s comments “beneath the dignity of the Party of Lincoln and the United States of America.”



Does he mean Lincoln the racist?

Lincoln quotes:


"I have no purpose to introduce political and social equality between the white and black races. There is physical difference between the two which, in my judgment, will probably forever forbid their living together upon the footing of perfect equality, and inasmuch as it becomes a necessity that there must be a difference, I, as well as Judge Douglas, am in favor of the race to which I belong having the superior position."

“I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races.”

"And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.”

“I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the states where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so.”

“There is a natural disgust in the minds of nearly all white people to the idea of indiscriminate amalgamation of the white and black races … A separation of the races is the only perfect preventive of amalgamation, but as an immediate separation is impossible, the next best thing is to keep them apart where they are not already together. If white and black people never get together in Kansas, they will never mix blood in Kansas…”

The dispossession and displacement of white people, white western political thought and ideals and removal of those people and their ideas from the public square.

Top House Republican Calls On Steve King To Resign Over White Supremacist Remark

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/top-house-republican-calls-steve-164058012.html

Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wy.), the third-ranking House Republican, on Tuesday said Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) should step down after he questioned why the term “white supremacist” was considered offensive.

“I think he should find another line of work,” Cheney told reporters. “His language questioning whether or not the notion of white supremacy is offensive is absolutely abhorrent, it’s racist, we do not support it or agree with it.”

[Swordsmyth]

I suspect that he did this on purpose for some reason, his use of "white supremacist" is just plain stupid for a politician in this day and age.

Even if you believe that whites are superior either as a matter of culture of genetics you can't say it in public yet, "white nationalism" is pushing the envelope.

I would also like to point out that his quote would have gotten him banned from this site while trolls who promote communism and military interventionism and many other evils are allowed to carry on without interruption.
Why is that?

“I understand how you interpreted my words when you read them this way,” King said (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G14npS331J0&feature=youtu.be). “There is no tape for this interview that I did. It was 56 minutes long there are some notes on the other end, but there is no tape there’s no way to go back and listen.”
White supremacist “ideology never shows up in my head,” King continued, and “I don't know how it could possibly come out of my mouth.” King continued,
So I'm going to tell [you] that the words are likely what I said. But I want to read it to you the way I believe I said it, and and that’s this: “White nationalist, white supremacist — Western Civilization, how did that language become offensive? Why did I sit in classes teaching me about the merits of our history and civilization” — that’s the end of the quote — just to watch Western Civilization become a derogatory term in political discourse today. That’s what I believe happened.”
In other words, by incorrectly punctuating King’s remarks, the Times created the appearance that King asked why white nationalism and supremacy were offensive, and connecting them to Western civilization.
King explained likewise (https://steveking.house.gov/media-center/press-releases/king-statement-regarding-leader-mccarthy-s-decision) in a news release.
In a 56 minute interview, we discussed the changing use of language in political discourse. We discussed the worn out label “racist” and my observation that other slanderous labels have been increasingly assigned to Conservatives by the Left, who injected into our current political dialog such terms as Nazi, Fascist, “White Nationalist, White Supremacist, — Western Civilization, how did THAT language become offensive? Why did I sit in classes teaching me about the merits of our history and our civilization?”... just to watch Western Civilization become a derogatory term in political discourse today. Clearly, I was only referencing Western Civilization classes. No one ever sat in a class listening to the merits of white nationalism and white supremacy.
When I used the word “THAT” it was in reference ONLY to Western Civilization and NOT to any previously stated evil ideology ALL of which I have denounced. My record as a vocal advocate for Western Civilization is nearly as full as my record in defense of Freedom of Speech.
None of that mattered, of course, and neither did the rest of King’s floor speech supporting the resolution.

Fearing Loose Cannons of Their Own, Democrats Collapse on King Censure

https://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/congress/item/31229-fearing-loose-cannons-of-their-own-democrats-collapse-on-king-censure

Written by R. Cort Kirkwood

Democrats who wanted to censure Representative Steve King because he supposedly advocated “white supremacy” during an interview with the New York Times won’t get their way — thanks to Democrats who likely wanted to censure King as well.

The reason: King unbosomed his remarks in an interview, outside his capacity as a congressman, and not, for instance, on the floor of the House.

Party mugwumps rightly worried that several young kooks who just took office would provide an endless train of censure opportunities for Republicans, and thus decided that discretion was the better part of valor.

Lasting Consequences

King became a target after the Times garbled a quote.

“White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization — how did that language become offensive?” King asked, the Times reported. “Why did I sit in classes teaching me about the merits of our history and our civilization?”

But that isn’t what the congressman said, he explained in a news release after the Times detonated their bomb on January 11.

In a 56 minute interview, we discussed the changing use of language in political discourse. We discussed the worn out label “racist” and my observation that other slanderous labels have been increasingly assigned to Conservatives by the Left, who injected into our current political dialog such terms as Nazi, Fascist, “White Nationalist, White Supremacist, — Western Civilization, how did THAT language become offensive? Why did I sit in classes teaching me about the merits of our history and our civilization?”... just to watch Western Civilization become a derogatory term in political discourse today. Clearly, I was only referencing Western Civilization classes. No one ever sat in a class listening to the merits of white nationalism and white supremacy.

When I used the word “THAT” it was in reference ONLY to Western Civilization and NOT to any previously stated evil ideology.

King explained likewise on the House floor, but that didn’t matter to the Left, which saw the chance to end the career of a hard-line conservative who backs tough border control. King stood his ground and refused to resign.

Thus, in addition to passing a resolution that condemned “white supremacy,” two Democratic members of the House — Bobby Rush of Illinois and Tim Ryan of Ohio — proposed censuring King.

But their plans went down in flames. Top Democrats, Politico reported, were afraid their members would provide too many chances for Republicans to retaliate.

The webzine reported that the Democratic leader “quietly rejected” the idea. Very quietly is more like it.

“Behind the scenes, Democratic leaders, led by House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.), were clear about their opposition, according to multiple Democratic lawmakers and aides,” Politico reported.

A Democratic aide told the webzine that “leadership has been full-court press on not bringing it up,” and Clyburn and Majority chief Steny Hoyer “were were warning rank-and-file members that going as far as censure could come back to harm Democrats.”

Democratic Candidates for Censure

Among the remarks that have come from Democrats are Muslim Representative Rashida Tlaib, a leftist Israel hater, who famously said of President Trump, “we’re gonna to impeach the motherfucker.”

Other possibilities abound. Just days ago, another Muslim congresswoman, Ilhan Omar, who is credibly accused of marrying her brother to perpetrate immigration fraud, suggested that Senator Lindsey Graham, the Republican from South Carolina, is “compromised,” a remark that carried the whiff of an accusation of homosexuality. And she ridiculed the Vice President with a “Jesus take the wheel” tweet.

Another possible subject is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who called President Trump a racist during her interview with 60 Minutes, and instructed the loons who support her nutty democratic socialism to “occupy every airport” until Immigration and Customs and Enforcement is shut down.

Democrats are right to worry that she could blurt out something as embarrassing as Tlaib.

Another candidate for censure might be Representative Maxine Waters, the Mouth from South Los Angeles, who has repeatedly called upon her disciples to publicly harass and intimidate Trump officials and supporters: “If you see anybody from that cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. You push back on them. Tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere!”

“If Steve King gets censured, all bets are off,” a House GOP aide told Politico. “If Democrats do force a censure vote for comments made outside the house floor, Democrats probably realize there are other things for us to look at it.”
