The Racist GOP Enables Racist Steve King
Episode description
Rep Steve King (R-IA) faced a vote to punish him for his recent comments praising white supremacy and white nationalism. He lost his seats on his committees, but he's still serving. Republicans have known his racist history for a very long time. This shouldn't be a surprise. And while they punished him, he still has a seat and is working with Republicans. Not to mention... his comments are NO different than the comments of Donald Trump.
Plus, the shutdown continues and Democrats won't participate in Trump's games. New 2020 contenders enter the race, and Trump's AG nominee begins his confirmation hearing.
We talk to The Hill's Niall Stanage and Ed Chung from the Center for American Progress.
