from Chris VanHollen:

'Iowa Congressman Steve King’s openly racist remarks and his refusal to back down from them are part of the alarming disintegration of our social fabric that we are experiencing in this new Trump era. While King has always been an extremist outlier, his full throated attacks on immigrants is just another piece of the rash of hate-crimes we have seen since inauguration day — including threats on Jewish community centers and attacks on individuals based on their faith or ethnic origin. It is up to each of us to vigorously push back against this tide, to do everything we can to support those feeling threatened in our communities, and to reinforce American values in our neighborhoods, workplaces and in all our relationships.'

Tarred with this brush. If they don't condemn and actually do something they give tacit approval. Work it in to every story about Ryan and house members. Also demand Trump condemn it if Bannon will let him.
