Meanwhile, GOP Utah Sen. Mitt Romney called on King to resign from Congress.
Washington — Embattled Congressman Steve King continued to receive scathing bipartisan criticism for defending white supremacy and white nationalism. Two House Democrats unveiled motions to censure the polarizing Iowa Republican. Meanwhile, GOP Utah Sen. Mitt Romney called on King to resign from Congress.
„Steve King’s comments are reprehensible. They have no place in polite society. And certainly no place in the Republican party,“ Romney told reporters Monday evening. „And they should have no place in the United States Congress. He ought to resign and move on and let someone else who represents American values take his seat.“
Before Romney’s remarks — one of the most damming rebukes of King from a member of his own party — Rep. Bobby Rush, D-Illinois, introduced a motion to censure the veteran Republican congressman for his racist remarks.
