.@SteveKingIA on House floor arguing that he's against white nationalism and white supremacy, says he comes from a family of abolitionists.
@SteveKingIA King said he is going to vote for the motion of disapproval that Dem @WhipClyburn has put forward condemning white supremacy and white nationalism.
Here's the resolution, which quotes King in NYT: ‘‘White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization—how did that language become
offensive?"

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo maintained that “there’s no contradiction whatsoever” in the shifting Syria strategy since President Trump’s initial announcement of US withdrawal.
“This is a story made up by the media.”
2/“...That’s fine, you all write what you like, but the President’s been very clear, and Ambassador Bolton and I have been very clear about this too, that the threat from radical Islamic terrorism is real. ISIS continues – we fight them in many regions around the country...
3/“... Our commitment to prevent Daesh growth, ISIS’ growth, is real. It’s important. We will continue at that,” he said in Cairo.
“We’re going to do it in a way in one particular place, Syria, differently. The United States’ decision, President Trump’s decision to withdraw..

Erdogan himself didn’t make time to meet with Bolton and said that “despite the fact that we reached a clear agreement with Mr. Trump, different voices have been raised from different echelons of the U.S. administration.”
2/ Erdogan: “Trump’s views on Syria and his determination to pull out remain our point of reference.” Re Bolton request Turks don’t attack Kurds, Erdogan said he “cannot make any concessions. Those involved in a terror corridor (in Syria) will receive the necessary punishment.”
3/AP: Shortly after Bolton’s meetings and in an apparent snub to the U.S. diplomatic push, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Ankara’s preparations for a new military offensive against terror groups in Syria are “to a large extent” complete.

WHO CONTROLS AMERICA?IT’S PAINFULLY OBVIOUS.

The “Conservative” GOP is trying to destroy @SteveKingIA after NYT article where he wondered how European Nationhood (“White Nationalism”) & Western Civilization became swear words.

He was stripped of his positions & told to resign.
The GOP joined the Dems to stand against “white supremacy,” ethno-nationalism, identity politics, etc., and to condemn King.

The Black Caucus, Hispanic Caucus, Latino-J👀wish Caucus, and all other ethno/religious caucuses receive no condemnation.

Only White advocacy is wrong🤔
To the untrained eye, it seems like the GOP is just really against any form of racial “supremacy” and nations based on ethnic identity.

But if you notice, they’re totally ok with the open supremacy & ethno-nationalism of a certain country in the Middle East.

👇🏻🇮🇱

All eyes are on the #TrumpShutdown but I need to get this off my chest:

It is appalling that @SteveKingIA, a white supremacist who is becoming increasingly brazen across the world about his white supremacy, can remain a Member of Congress in good standing with his caucus. /1
Steve King--who endorses #immigration restrictions and workplace discrimination against Muslims, believes that POC represent the end of Western civilization--is the CHAIRMAN of the Subcommittee on the CONSTITUTION and Civil Justice of the House Judiciary Committee. /2
When Republicans were last in the Minority, from 2007-2010, Steve King was the Ranking Member of the Immigration Subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee--effectively the party's official, leading spokesperson on the issue. /3

Man this is making me angry. You have Chuck Schumer, who's constitutionally incapable of standing up to Trump and is determined to sell us out to Facebook, waltzing to another term, while Nancy Pelosi, who passed freakin' Obamacare, is getting challenged huffingtonpost.com/entry/nancy-pe…
Thread. So the #FiveWhiteGuys leading this brigade against Nancy Pelosi more or less have an Underpants Gnomes strategy. Let's take a look at what they're up to.
Pelosi is guaranteed to pass her first hurdle: a vote of the Democratic caucus. In Dec. 2016, Pelosi turned back an insurrection by OH Rep. Tim Ryan, one of the #FiveWhiteGuys, winning 134-63. She'll win again this time—no one is even running against her cnn.com/2016/11/30/pol…

I'm going to be reading Asad Haider's book Mistaken Identity over the next day or so. I've already started, but I thought I'd sort of half-assedly live tweet some bits as I go.

all right. I'm a quarter of the way in (it's pretty short.) It's a class first leftist argument, basically, though a fairly subtle one, and he's got a strong commitment to anti racism. So I'm pretty skeptical, but think the book is in good faith.
