Mr King of Iowa
\u201cThe U.S. Congress cannot be a platform for Steve King and those of his ilk. From Charleston to Charlottesville to Chicago to California, there is no home for this behavior, especially the floor of the United States House of Representatives.\u201dBobby Rush\n\nI have no tolerance for such positions and those who espouse these views are not supporters of American ideals and freedoms,\u201d McConnell said in a written statement to The Washington Post. \u201cRep. King\u2019s statements are unwelcome and unworthy of his elected position. If he doesn\u2019t understand why \u2018white supremacy\u2019 is offensive, he should find another line of work.\u201d\n\nAnti-Defamation League called on Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and McCarthy to censure King and remove him as the top Republican on a House Judiciary subcommittee.Jonathan Greenblatt, the group\u2019s chief executive and national director, said in a letter to the House leaders that it was the second time that he had made such a request.\u201cWhen it comes to Rep. King, we are beyond substantive disagreements. Rep. King has brought dishonor onto the House of Representatives,\u201d Greenblatt wrote. By censuring King, he added, \u201cyou will make clear that his actions were deeply offensive, wrong, and that the U.S. House of Representatives will not tolerate anti-Semitism or bigotry in any form.\u201d
