BREAKING: Iowa congressman Steve King loses Republican primary
, “If they were in America pushing the platform that they push, they would be Republicans.”
Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the Republican leader in the House, stripped King of his committee assignments. Iowa’s two Republican senators, Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst, who had campaigned with King in the past, condemned his comments. Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds said she would stay out of the primary for King’s seat, after keeping the congressman on as a co-chair for her 2018 campaign. King had served as national co-chair of Sen. Ted Cruz’s 2016 presidential campaign.
Sen. Randy Feenstra, R-Hull, speaks during debate on the tax bill in the Iowa Senate, Saturday, May 5, 2018, at the Statehouse in Des Moines, Iowa. “I think he should find another line of work,” Rep. Liz Cheney, the third-ranking Republican in the House, said at the time. “His language questioning whether or not the notion of white supremacy is offensive is absolutely abhorrent, it’s racist, we do not support it or agree with it.”
Feenstra’s campaign did not focus on King’s history of racist rhetoric, except to claim that losing his committee assignments diminished his ability to work for his district, which covers the mostly rural northwest quadrant of the state. The state's other three congressional seats are currently held by Democrats. "The Fourth District needs a seat at the table — an effective conservative voice," Feenstra said during a debate last month.
