Time to Expel Steve King From Congress

[thomhartmann]

Is it time to expel Congress member Steve King from the House of Representatives?

Rep. Steve King is no stranger to controversy thanks to his speeches and ads which critics have called racist.

But the congress member may have gone too far this time when he posted a meme calling for a civil war.

Steve King shared a meme that put Red States, controlled by Republicans and Blue states, controlled by the Democratic party at war with each other.

King, representing Iowa's 4th district, didn't end at calling for civil war between the Red and Blue states, but celebrated the imagined grand victory of Republicans over the Blue states, as well as taking a jab at trans people,

Should calling for a civil war be enough to oust someone from Congress?

Why aren't Republicans calling for King to step down?

1. "Why aren't Republicans calling for King to step down?" They think just like him just don't say it.

3. The Democrats control the House now.

I don't disagree with your point, but I think it is time to call this white supremacist in repubiKKKan clothing out. Even if it doesn't pass.....start the process. PLENTY of grounds for expulsion. Granted, the repuKKKes willl all huddle and whine, but fuck them!

4. I think it would take 52 Rethugs to join Dems to expel King. That's not going to happen

there are some real wackos in the House and a lot of them are from Texas. It's actually kind of scary to hear some of these people and realize that a lot of people vote for these dumbasses.

5. The Senate would not have to be involved.

It would take a two-thirds vote in the House, though.

2. I miss listening to Thom on the radio daily....

I know he got in some hot water with a relationship with RT, or whatever the hell it was; but his voice is powerful. He knows his history, knows his shit, and he can debate the best of them. His voice should be broadcast across the entire country...including rural amuriKKKa and the Midwest/South.

6. It's outrageous and insulting that the House leadership isn't calling for King to be expelled

Stop ignoring this monster before he gets people killed.
