Pelosi Spokesman Statement on Rep. Steve King’s Latest Racist Comments

"Republican Congressman Steve King's vile racism has no place in decent society, much less in the U.S. Congress," said Hammill.  "But once again, disgusting hatred has been met with deafening silence from Speaker Ryan."

"It's no accident that communities across America have been threatened by emboldened racists.  The GOP Leadership must stop accommodating this garbage, and condemn Congressman Steve King's statements in the strongest and most unequivocal terms," Hammill continued.  "Speaker Ryan and the House Republican Leadership must decide whether white supremacy is welcome in the GOP ranks."
