White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders joined several key Republicans in calling out Rep. Steve King (R-IA) for his comments about white supremacy, according to The Hill and NBC.
“Steve King’s comments were abhorrent,” she reportedly told the press outside the West Wing on Wednesday. “The Republican leadership, unlike Democrats, have actually taken action when their members have said outrageous and inappropriate things.”
After King was quoted in The New York Times pondering why the term “white supremacist” is considered “offensive,” Republican leadership condemned King for the comments. The House passed a disapproval resolution on Tuesday over the issue.
King has a history of making racist comments and affiliating himself with white supremacist and neo-Nazi affiliated groups.
SHS continued: “But that being said, he’s still our guy…”
ETA (and OT but funny): Michael Strahan is trolling Trump by inviting the Clemson team to NYC for lobster and caviar "We gonna give you the proper meal that you deserve because that was one great game, a great accomplishment.”
Gotta love it! Showing up Donnie Tightwad. (Who’s probably gnashing his teeth that he couldn’t write it off to the Trump Foundation anymore…)

Yes, those actions typically include pretending you didn’t hear them; refusing to comment; sweeping them under the rug; and/or outright support.
So STFU, you ghoulish troll.
Little slow on the uptake, eh Donnie…
The only thing Trump learned during his lifetime of failing upward was to throw other people under the bus whenever things were going wrong. Everyone hates Trump for his Christmas shutdown, so he’s looking for someone, anyone else to take some blame and negative spotlight away from him. No one and nothing matters but Trump’s ego.
I happen to enjoy this right now, because all the obedient stooges getting backstabbed now are terrible people who deserve it. Probably too much to hope that Steve King gets expelled from the House, but it would be nice.
