Congressman Steve King’s recent comments, actions, and retweets are completely inappropriate. We must stand up against white supremacy and hate in all forms, and I strongly condemn this behavior.

Steve Stivers is National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman.
Representative Steve King (R-IA) isn’t a Democrat.
It’s stunning, to me. Not only the condemnation, but waiting until this late in the campaign season. Is this just a hand-wave at being outraged, soon to be followed by a sigh and an admission that, one more time, they’ll just have to work with him?
Or is this an attempt to sink King into a lake with a boulder tied to his ankles?
Maybe Stivers should consider switching parties.
