Rep. Steve King pushes GOP to reinstate his committee assignments

By Cristina Marcos - 02/12/19 03:34 PM EST 

Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) is pushing House GOP leaders to reinstate his committee assignments that he lost last month after questioning why the terms "white supremacist" and "white nationalist" had become offensive.
 
King released a letter on Tuesday from more than 200 of what he described as "pro-family leaders" asking House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) to reinstate his committee assignments.
 
The letter's signatories include former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas); William Owens, founder and president of the Coalition of African American Pastors; evangelical leader James Dobson; and anti-Muslim conspiracy theorist Frank Gaffney.

"Unlike North Korea, we in the United States are 'innocent until proven guilty' and hold to the principles of Western Civilization, as Rep. King so admirably does," the letter states.

"Don't make the fatal mistake of turning the reins of the U.S. Congress over to the liberal media, allowing them to target, misquote, and falsely brand any member of Congress they wish to remove."

   If I was the paranoid type I'd mention that he was National Co-Chair of Cruz's 2016 campaign, but I'm not, so I won't.

The first sentence is a lie, so why bother with the rest.

King is absolutely right.  This lily-livered bunch of pantywaists should be ashamed and give his committee assignments back immediately.
