                               RESOLUTION


 
      Condemning and censuring Representative Steve King of Iowa.

Whereas, on January 10, 2019, in an interview published by the New York Times, 
        Representative Steve King asked, ``White nationalist, White supremacist, 
        Western civilization--how did that language become offensive? Why did I 
        sit in classes teaching me about the merits of our history and our 
        civilization?'';
Whereas Representative King's comments legitimize White supremacy and White 
        nationalism as acceptable in today's society;
Whereas Representative King's comments are abhorrent to the founding principles 
        of our Nation and our rich history of diversity and tolerance of those 
        whose backgrounds and beliefs have made America the envy of the world; 
        and
Whereas Representative King's comments reflect negatively on the House of 
        Representatives: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That--
            (1) Representative Steve King of Iowa be censured;
            (2) Representative Steve King forthwith present himself in 
        the well of the House of Representatives for the pronouncement 
        of censure; and
            (3) Representative Steve King be censured with the public 
        reading of this resolution by the Speaker.
                                 <all>
