Rep. Steve King (R-IA) made his true feelings about the backlash over his comments about white supremacy known during an interview with a St. Louis radio station on Wednesday, pushing back against House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and Rep. Liz Cheney’s (R-WY) criticism of him.
“(McCarthy) decided he’s going to to believe the New York Times over Steve King and that’s a fact and I will tell you, if there’s support out there for Liz Cheney — you can’t put her in the category of ever being a conservative again,” he said. “She’s called for my resignation, she’s been here two years. What would give her the moral authority or the intellectual judgment to do something like that?”
Cheney has called for King’s resignation and while McCarthy hasn’t gone quite that far, he has lobbed veiled criticism at previous party leadership for not addressing King’s history of racist behavior sooner.
King has been condemned roundly by members of his party and even the White House for a comment he made to the New York Times questioning why the term “white supremacist” was “offensive.” The House voted in favor of a disapproval resolution earlier this week as a formal denunciation of the comments.
“What would give [Liz Cheney] the moral authority or the intellectual judgement to do something like that?”
He is kinda right, if you think about it.
lol away he goes, by his own party no less. love it
"Hole–so-----deep! Must—keep-----digging!
Poor guy did even realize that every Lib who read his comments would have the same reaction–and laugh.
That said, he’s flailing. King doesn’t realize that only the Boss gets to play the 'enemy of the people" card to get away with bad behavior every single time. Schlubs like King don’t have enough support from the teaming masses yearning to get approval from Dotard.
Ya Steve
