Congressman Steve King was stripped of all of his committee assignments by the House GOP steering committee tonight, in a disciplinary move announced by Kevin McCarthy.

The decision came after a wave of Republican criticism of King for this comment to The New York Times:

2. An unapologetic racist asshole

I doubt even censure would dampen his beliefs.
