Steve King pushes to get committee assignments back

Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, is pressuring House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., to reinstate his committee assignments after the Iowa Republican made comments in a New York Times interview appearing to support white supremacy.

King released a letter Tuesday from more than 200 “pro-family leaders” slamming McCarthy for believing “a liberal news organization famous for their bias” over a member of Congress, who they said had served Iowa constituents “honorably” for the last 16 years.
