His poll numbers among repukes scares the hell out of them and is the main reason.

When that drops to below 50%, they will desert him like rats on a sinking ship.

comes only a day or two after tRump's increasingly strident racism in a tweet mocking "Pocahontas":

If Elizabeth Warren, often referred to by me as Pocahontas, did this commercial from Bighorn or Wounded Knee instead of her kitchen, with her husband dressed in full Indian garb, it would have been a smash!

That *may* have triggered them to use King to send a signal to tRump to tone it down.

Steve King is in the center of the tower, he and the other racists in Congress will cause the tower that Trump is the top of to come crashing down eventually.

I'm not impressed. I'm glad they finally took some action, but like I've said before. I'm more concerned about White Supremacy affecting policy. Not hurtful words. My self esteem is strong enough to withstand hurtful rhetoric.. Its the policies in place that affect minority populations for generations that I'm concerned with.

Everything about white supremacy they want.

Just don't *call* it white supremacy.

*that* is apparently a problem.
