Almost one year ago, Iowa’s Fourth Congressional District Representative Steve King was removed from all of his U.S. House committees by House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy. 

With the start of the 2020 Congressional Session next week, King tells Raccoon Valley Radio he will continue to not serve on committees. He was removed from his committees due to a comment his made in a New York Times article, which claimed to be about white supremacy. King claims he has since proven the comment to be inaccurate and he believes it was an orchestrated attack against him.

“The Left is always going to do what they’re going to do, but ‘The Swamp’ teamed up with them, and they decided they wanted Steve King out of the way because I can’t be bought. And on every principle that matters to conservatives, I’ve been in front of every one of them. I step up and tell the truth and that hurts. It hurts those folks and they made that decision.”

King plans to make his argument public and apply pressure to McCarthy to reinstate him on his committees. He adds, in the history of the country, only four members of congress have been removed from their committees, the other three were convicted of felony charges.
