House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) said he’s “not surprised” at Rep. Steve King’s (R-IA) recent statements about white supremacy since he’s made “similar comments in the past.”

“I’m not surprised that Mr. King made those comments,” Hoyer said on CNN’s “New Day.” “He’s made similar comments in the past. But very, very disappointing. A democracy, the voters who believe America is the land of the free, a land that respects individuals, respects equality and justice should not have a congressman who articulates those kinds of sentiments.”
Democrats are in the majority now. Can’t they censure King for conduct unbecoming of a House member?
A democracy, the voters who believe America is the land of the free, a land that respects individuals, respects equality and justice,*** should not have a congressman who articulates those kinds of sentiments.”
*And then there’s Iowa.
Join the crowd, Steny. King is a real 1939 throwback.
It is very hard to be surprised by a known racist’s statements, merely because you already know the induhvidual is a racist pig. Nobody was surprised by Hitler’s racist statements.
However, it is not at all difficult to be OUTRAGED whenever a racist opens his filthy mouth.
“I am not surprised because, after all, my head has not been run over by a steamroller like a character in a Looney Tune.”
