Censure Steve King
We call on the Iowa Republican Party, the Republican National Committee, and the Republican leadership in the U.S Congress to censure Representative Steve King in the following ways:
1. Strip Representative King of all committee leadership roles.
2. Bar Representative King from participating in all future Republican Party Events.
3. Remove all mentions of Representative King from all Republican Party websites, literature, and social media accounts.

Why is this important?
Steve King making outrageous racist remarks is unfortunately nothing new. However, his awful consistency is no excuse for complicity. Most recently, King shared a racist meme regarding Emma Gonzalez, a Parkland survivor and #NeverAgain movement leader, criticizing her for wearing a Cuban flag.
He has also tweeted "you can't rebuild civilization with someone else's babies" which won him the praise of former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke who called upon white supremacists to move to Steve King's congressional district, Iowa's 4th, if they wanted to have leadership that reflected their values. The very next day on WHO radio Steve King doubled down on his bigotry when commenting on demographic trends indicating Caucasians will someday be in the minority "Blacks and Hispanics will be fighting each other before that happens." This calls for unequivocal condemnation from all respectable leaders and political parties.
