House vote fails to quell storm surrounding Steve King

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The number of Republicans calling for embattled Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) to resign grew on Wednesday as the House approved a resolution condemning white supremacy.

The third-ranking House Republican, House GOP Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney (Wyo.), said at a press conference that "I think he should find another line of work," echoing a statement from Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) a day earlier. Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) and Rep. Chris Stewart (R-Utah) also called for King's resignation.

It all came after House GOP leaders moved Monday night to strip King of any committee assignments for the new Congress. King had served on the Judiciary, Agriculture and Small Business committees. He had also served as chairman of a Judiciary subcommittee on the Constitution and Civil Justice in the last Congress.

The resolution from House Majority Whip James Clyburn (D-S.C.), a senior member of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), drew near-unanimous support. But some lawmakers wanted to go further, and a fellow CBC member, Rep. Bobby Rush (D-Ill.), voted against it because he favored a tougher response to King.

The resolution, approved in a 424-1 vote, doesn't directly rebuke King.

Instead, it 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."
