King to vote for resolution rejecting white supremacy
By Cristina Marcos - 01/15/19 02:57 PM EST

Embattled Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) said Tuesday that he would vote in favor of a resolution to condemn white supremacy in the aftermath of GOP leaders moving to strip him of any committee assignments.

The House is slated to vote later Tuesday afternoon on a resolution from Majority Whip James Clyburn (S.C.), a senior member of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), that's meant to be a response to King but doesn't rebuke him directly.

The resolution states that the House “once again rejects White nationalism and White supremacy as hateful expressions of intolerance that are contradictory to the values that define the people of the United States.”

Clyburn tailored the resolution, which does not directly rebuke or criticize King, as such to draw bipartisan support.
