„I wish he would resign, frankly.… He’s lost the faith and the trust of his comrades,“ Republican Representative Chris Stewart told CNN.
Representative Chris Stewart and Senator Mitt Romney of Utah have both called on Iowa representative Steve King to resign, after he apparently defended white supremacy in an interview last week.
„It’s not the first time that he has said things that the party just cringes at and says, ‚What in the world is he saying?'“ Stewart remarked on CNN’s Cuomo Prime Time Monday night. „I wish he would resign, frankly.… He’s lost the faith and the trust of his comrades.”
Earlier Monday the GOP had stripped King of his role on a number of House committees—a step that had been demanded by the Congressional Black Caucus on Saturday.
