Congressman Trying To Censure Steve King Might Want To Remember The Skeletons In His Own Closet
All The Libs Complaining About Trump’s Burgers Seem To Have Forgotten About This

GOP Leadership Strips Rep. Steve King Of Committee Assignments
January 15, 2019Before I begin, let me note that I am NOT defending Steve King. His comments have no place in our discourse. White Supremacism (as is the supremacism of ANY race) simply does not represent our values or ideals as Conservatives and as AMERICANS. We judge people for the CONTENT OF THEIR CHARACTER, NOT THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN. PERIOD.
And while there IS a valid argument for censuring him…THIS man should not be making it:
Today, I announced I will be introducing a resolution to formally censure Rep. Steve King for his pattern of racist and xenophobic statements: https://t.co/gAoiwMzPUr #CensureKing pic.twitter.com/2bhWzuQm8N

Inbox: Democratic Rep. Bobby Rush to introduce resolution to formally censure Rep. Steve King.
“This Congress will not turn a blind eye to his repugnant and racist behavior. Anything short of censure would be shallow.”

Interesting.
So why is this a problem?
Because ONE racist is no worse than another.
You don’t get to virtue signal about racism when you’re a flaming bigot yourself.
Bobby Rush, the IL Black Panther Party founder? Oh Ok. https://t.co/aWUI6QrIwv https://t.co/CnOBXMT5S0

Since the press hasn’t covered the fact that members of the Congressional Black Caucus in 2005 met with anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan, I’ll make coverage easier. Here are 21 members of Congress today who belonged to the CDC in 2005. Why not ask them if meeting w anti-Semites is ok? pic.twitter.com/TjDlKAstMp

Bobby Rush, included on this list, unironically introduced a censure measure against Steve King yesterday. https://t.co/DwNkLlRbiw

No. I am NOT defending Steve King.
I am merely asserting that ALL BIGOTRY IS UNACCEPTABLE.
And for THIS man to be pointing fingers isn’t just laughable… it’s a sickening reflection on liberal hypocrisy.
