Charlie Pierce, Esquire Magazine:
So Kevin McCarthy, the Minority Leader of the House, moved on King, which gives us another chance to toss an elbow at former Speaker Paul Ryan, the zombie-eyed granny-starver from the state of Wisconsin. Ryan was perfectly fine with having an outright white-supremacist in his caucus for more than a decade because Ryan never found the political gumption to bring the wild kingdom there under control.
As Charlie points out, some Repubs have decided - finally - to get on that little bandwagon, and say something about the once and future white nationalist always known as Steve King.
And may I add - this doesn't happen if we don't put Dems back in charge of at least part of the legislative branch.
Repubs are no longer in full command, so their need for the support of a Steve King and his hordes of racist assholes is outweighed by their need to cut their losses - pretty much proving the Blue Wave was in fact a wave; that those "hordes" were fictitious to begin with, and if they don't do something quick and rather drastic, people will see what a fucking sham "the Republican Majority" has been for at least 7 or 8 years.
I'm also betting dollars to dingleberries that Nancy Pelosi told McCarthy that he needed to stomp King's ass or she'd do it for him.
You don't fuck with Aunt Nancy.
