“The Des Moines Register, in an editorial posted on its website Tuesday, says House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s decision to strip King of his committee assignments leaves the state without representation on the vital House Agriculture Committee. “The editorial argued that while King has made statements for years that “made Iowa a laughing stock on the national stage,” his most recent comments in The New York Times should be “career-ending.” “The Register urged Iowa’s Republican senators, Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst, GOP Gov. Kim Reynolds and others to urge King to quit “for the good of the Republican Party and, more importantly, for the good of Iowa.”
“Republican leaders have made serving in Congress uncomfortable for King over his remarks in the New York Times last week questioning how white supremacy and white nationalism became offensive terms. (AP) “House and Senate leaders condemned the remarks, and GOP leaders moved this week to deny him any committee assignments.”Republicans should do as many as their constituents do and stop believing every word they read in the New York Times.
“On the House floor Tuesday, King said he was advocating for Western civilization, not racism, in the Times interview. King says he rejects the ideology of white supremacy, adding that he deeply believes that “all men and now all women are created equal. It’s in my heart and soul and it’s in my works.” (AP) “The nine-term Iowa congressman says he’s advocating for Western civilization, not racism.”Meanwhile, it is not just Congressman King that the New York Times is getting away with smearing. Left as things currently stand, the Holier-Than-Thous are now capable of putting a curse on anyone who is proud of their country (which is the meaning of the word ‘nationalist’) or who dares defend the West. The MSM and social media will pick off all accused without proof off one at a time, while cowardly and self-serving Republican opportunists safely keep looking the other way.
