Liz Cheney was asked a few minutes ago her thoughts on whether there’s a place for Steve King in the Congress given his rhetoric and she didn’t pull any punches…
Rep. Liz Cheney on Rep. Steve King: "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. And as I said, I think he should find another line of work" https://t.co/ETuQU8wu8j pic.twitter.com/4vBYWoLI8M

Cheney says she agrees with McConnell and says King should resign from Congress and find another line of work.
She indicates that she agrees with McCarthy removing King from his committee assignments and said this wasn’t the first time he’s made these kind of comments.
She then said…
“His language questioning whether or not the notion of white supremacy is offensive is absolutely abhorrent, it’s racist. Uh we do not support it or agree with it. And as I said, I think he should find another line of work.”
Regardless of King’s statement yesterday calling this a mischaracterization by the NY Times, no one seems to be buying it. And what Cheney says here seems to be the collective assessment of Republicans everywhere – even Ted Cruz.
