US Congressman Steve King has been under heavy pressure for comments he recently made about white supremacy and white nationalism.

Those comments got him removed from his House committees in agriculture, judiciary and small business. Even during the House debate on Tuesday when a resolution was passed almost unanimously to rebuke the comments that King made a New York Times article, a Democrat Ohio Congressman Tim Ryan commented that the House should censure King.

“And the underlying premise is that we’ve had leaders at the highest levels condone and continue to perpetuate race-baiting, white supremacist language that is not good for this country.”

While Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds wouldn’t comment on whether or not King should resign, she doesn’t agree with what he said.

“He needs to decide if he wants to continue to serve Iowans in the 4th District and represent the people and their values. He’s not going to have the ability to be on those committees and represent Iowans in the 4th District.”

We’ve previously reported that the Greene County Democratic Party is one of those entities calling for King to resign. If he did, the Iowa Secretary of State’s office confirms that Governor Reynolds would call for a special election for the vacancy. Greene County resident Chris Henning describes her reaction to King’s comments in the article.

“Well my personal reaction to Steve King is a visceral rejection of the hatred and bigotry he espouses. My ancestors and great grandparents, Irish and German, Scots and English, catholic and Protestant, farmers and businessmen, helped build this country. King’s bigotry and racism does not represent them or me!”

Along with US Senators Charles Grassley and Joni Ernst denouncing King’s comments, the White House has also denounced them as well.
