https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/jan/14/steve-king-republicans-house-committees-white-nationalistVirulent racist Rep. Steve King (R-IA) has been stripped of his committee assignments in the House of Representatives after remarks asking how "white supremacy" became offensive.
Let's also recall his characterization of Dreamers as people with "calves the size of cantaloupes" from smuggling marijuana across the border.
Rep. King had sat on the House Judiciary, Agriculture, and Small Business Committees. Additionally, in the previous Congress, he was the chair of the Judiciary Committee's subcommittee on The Constitution and Civil Justice (among other things, it oversaw federal civil rights--which you'd think would be the one place you wouldn't want to put someone as racist as Rep. King).
Reps. Chris Collins (R-NY) and Duncan Hunter (R-CA) also have no committee assignments; both are under active indictment.
EDIT: "We can't restore our civilization with somebody else's babies." -- Rep. Steve King
EDIT #2: Per the US Constitution, Art. 1, Sec. 2, Clause 4: "When vacancies happen in the Representation from any State, the Executive Authority thereof shall issue Writs of Election to fill such Vacancies."
But seen on Twitter (condensed):
"Steve King should resign so Gov. Reynolds can appoint a replacement well before 2020."
"If Steve King resigns, Gov. Reynolds will just appoint someone equally horrible."
Whatever your partisan take on the matter, both of these versions are simply wrong that the Governor gets to appoint replacements for House members.
