HAPPENING NOW: Rep. Steve King is on the floor responding to Rep. Clyburn's resolution rejecting "White nationalism and White supremacy as hateful expressions of intolerance."

The resolution's first whereas clause references King's recent quote to the NYT.
H.Res.41 begins: "Whereas, on January 10, 2019, Representative Steve King
was quoted as asking,'White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization—how did that language become
offensive?'"
The resolution references Rep. King only once -- and does not call for any censure or punishment of Iowa's only House Republican.
King says he'll vote FOR the resolution meant to respond to his remarks. "I agree with that language," Rep. King says, referencing the Resolved clause.

King says he would "strengthen" it by adding a condemnation of "anyone that supports this evil and bigoted ideology" of Nazism.
The House resolution condemning "White nationalism and White supremacy" is being brought up under suspension of the rules, requiring a 2/3rds vote. With Rep. King announcing he will vote for it, it may wind up passing unanimously.
