McCarthy to meet with Steve King about white supremacy remarks: 'Action will be taken'
By Brett Samuels - 01/13/19 11:04 AM EST

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) pledged Sunday to take action in response to Rep. Steve King's latest inflammatory comments in which the Iowa Republican questioned why the terms “white nationalist” and “white supremacist” were offensive.

McCarthy condemned the comments, and said on CBS's "Face the Nation" that he will meet with King on Monday to discuss the matter.

"Action will be taken," he said. "I’m having a serious conversation with Congressman Steve King on his future and role in this Republican Party."

"There is a number of things you’ll see that is taking place," he continued. "But I will not stand back as a leader of this party, believing in this nation that all are created equal, that that stands or continues to stand and has any role with us."

And yet there have been many, many Democrats who have said highly offensive things. Rats that align themselves with anti-Semites, and have called on physical violence on conservatives. And yet, the rat party hierarchy refuses to push back on any of that language. 

It's all a bunch of bullshit.   Makes me sick.  As does your attitude.
