I heard that McCarthy said he's going to sit down with him and have a talk about his future in the Republican Party.
I'm not sure that even the Congressional Black Caucus is going to ask for much more. I heard today that the head of the CBC is going to introduce a motion of censure. If that wrist slap is all they're going for, they really can't criticize the inaction of others.
Separately, the CBC over the weekend demanded King be stripped of his committee assignments. King currently serves on the Judiciary, Agriculture and Small Business panels.
House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.), the highest ranking African American in Congress, is also planning to introduce a resolution of disapproval in response to King, although it wouldn’t go as far as censure.

But Clyburn said a censure motion against King would be an overreach in his opinion.
“I don’t think we in the House should be censuring somebody for what he said to a reporter,” Clyburn said Monday afternoon. “If it was something he said on the House floor, yeah maybe.”
Originally posted by pianojuggler: That's a start. And what took them so long? King has been elected, what, nine times? And he's been spewing racist carp for decades.
Yeah, he must be wondering that too.
I wonder whether the difference is the changeover from Paul Ryan to Kevin McCarthy.
