The Congressional Black Caucus called for Rep. Steve King (R-Ia.) to be removed from his committee assignments Saturday after remarks he made about white supremacy earlier this week.
CBC chair Rep. Karen Bass (D-Ca.) linked King's comments to President Trump and asked for him to be deposed.
Like Donald Trump, she said, Steve King has sought again and again to give comfort to white supremacists, something that should never be allowed in the halls of Congress or the Oval Office.
Bass characterized King's remarks as "racist" and the Iowa Republican needed more than just condemnation.
If Republicans really believe these racist statements have no place in our government, then their party must offer more than shallow temporary statements of condemnation. Instead they must actually condemn Mr. King by removing him from his committee assignments so that he can no longer affect policies that impact the very people he has made it clear he disdains.
"Anything less than substantive actions is another tacit acceptance of racism from the Republican party, Bass added.
ETC...
Spot on, and see my previous just above.
Why is there a CBC and why cant Caucasians join? Do they think theyre superior to us?

You might be able to get away with white nationalist if you dont follow it with white supremicist but when you string them together it looks, and is, real bad.
He asks how certain phrases become unspeakable and they equate it to sticking up for what the phrases actually mean - they find much of the English Language “offensive” because it makes people think instead of just taking to the streets to destroy stuff..
He has clarified what he meant. If the quote is accurate, its a bad gaffe for sure. But Im not particularly interested in pandering to the outrage of a Group like the Congressional Black Caucus, at least half of whose membership sucks up to the likes of Farrakhan, who is a stone cold racist.
Clearly youre just an old white male racist interested in furthering the Patriarchy, for knowing and bringing up history like that.
I guess I should add the the < /s> lest someone misunderstand.
“Black” caucus? What racist pigs!
