Steve King faces new storm over remarks about white supremacy
Rep. Steve King is facing a new political storm over his latest inflammatory comments about immigration and race - remarks in which he questioned why the terms "white nationalist" and "white supremacist" were offensive.
Talk of censuring the Iowa Republican is picking up as he takes heavy criticism from his own party. There are also questions about whether he could lose the distinction of being a subcommittee ranking member in the current Congress.
A Friday floor speech in which he expressed regret for "heartburn" felt in Congress and in his district and the country over his remarks did not appear to quell the growing storm.
Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), the Senate's only black Republican, penned a Washington Post op-ed on Friday warning that King reflects poorly on the rest of the GOP.
