Kevin McCarthy says "action will be taken" against Steve King on "Face the Nation"


GOP Iowa Rep. Steve King recently defended the terms "white nationalist" and "white supremacist." House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy tells FaceTheNation he plans to have a "serious discussion" with King about "his future and role" in the Republican Party after those comments.
"That language has no place in America. That is not the America I know, and it's most definitely not the party of Lincoln," House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California told "Face the Nation," saying he has a meeting with King scheduled for Monday. 
"Action will be taken. I'm having a serious conversation with Congressman Steve King about his future and role in this Republican Party," McCarthy said. "I will not stand back as a leader of this party, believing in this nation, that all are created equal, that that stands or continues to stand and have any role with us."
Check out what he said:


“Action will be taken.”
There are quite a few people on the left calling for King to step down, I think that’s a little ridiculous. It’s clear he misspoke, I very much doubt he is a full blown white supremacist. I mean, he hung out with Cuban Canadian Ted Cruz!! Most white supremacists are a little more circumspect about who they hang out with. On the other hand, what he said was pretty terrible, especially at a time when the right is being accused of harboring white supremacists and their ideas. It definitely makes me reconsider all the times I defended him in the past.
We’ll have to see if McCarthy is serious, and what consequences King is going to feel for his insane comment.
