The House of Representatives on Tuesday voted 424-1 in favor of a resolution “rejecting white nationalism and white supremacy.” The resolution was introduced by House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-SC), who said it was meant as a response to Rep. Steve King’s (R-IA) recent comments on the terms.
King himself voted for the resolution. Rep. Bobby Rush (D-IL), a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, voted against it, saying he wanted a vote on his own proposed censure of King — a harsher response. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) also stripped King of committee assignments for the comment, on Monday.
It is not strong enough. We need to censure Steve King. https://t.co/rgjacPoHO1

NOT FAIR ! ……
The resolution wasn’t arousing enough to get him to
pop out of the foreskin —
I’m sure the Reps would have speedily introduced a similar resolution has they still been in charge of the house - ha!
A punishment so light that the guilty party is willing to impose it on himself hardly seems like much of a punishment at all. But even lip service in this regard is a step back toward normality, so—yay?
So, about that guy in the White House…
