If the gopE stripped him of a congressional committee assignment, he must ether be a real conservative or a complete POS. If Trump did not let him on AF1, the later must be true.

“WHY could he not fly on Air Force One?”
Because he made some politically incorrect comments and has become a pariah within the Republican Party, even stripped of all committee assignments. Totally unjustified, but that’s what’s going on here.

They maliciously misconstrued what he said to be support for white supremacy, which it wasn’t, but everyone, including Republicans, went with this.

King is a stand-up guy who didn’t toe the politically correct line and he was also quoted out of context. He’s political Kriptonite now because his GOP colleagues threw him under the bus.
To: magna carta
Fair or not, King has been successfully destroyed by the MSM and is now damaged goods. It was wise of the White House to keep him off AF1.

Remember this is the Clinton News Network. He could have been in Des Moines already or flying with his family or anything. He may not have want to go to Iowa, who knows.

I think he misspoke and equated white supremacy and nationalism when that wasn’t his intention.

He appears to have been Alynski-ed with a choice of punctuation. He was quoted by a reporter using punctuation that makes his statement seem pretty pronouncedly racist, rather than another way, which was clearly not.

A reporter using punctuation and spelling correctly is a hugely novel idea. Wonder when they’re going to start?

According to Politico:
” ABC News morning anchor George Stephanopoulos was aboard Air Force One for the trip “

His great crime was not being ashamed of being white.
I completely support him and shame on Trump.
