Today, Congressman Ted W. Lieu (D-Los Angeles County) issued the following statement after the House passed a resolution rejecting white nationalism and white supremecy. This resolution follows Rep. Steve King's comments to the New York Times, asking "White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization -- how did that language become offensive?", which prompted Minority Leadership to remove Rep. King from his committee roles.

"It's about time Republican Leadership took action against GOP Rep. Steve King--who is a stark, raving racist--for his repeated bigoted and xenophobic statements. I urge Republican Leadership now to look at the statements made by the occupant of the Oval Office."
