On Sunday morning on her show, Joy asked George Will why the Republicans in the house have not kicked Steve King off his committees, or censured him, or denied him his seat, or thrown him out of their caucus.
His reply?
The voters of his district have elected King several times by large margins, and their democratic will cannot lightly be thwarted.
And what about censure or denying him his senior positions in various committees?
None of that is actually important enough to worry about, he said.
So kicking him out or shaving in power in the party in response to his emergence as a Republican George Wallace would be lightly thwarting the will of the people, apparently, according to George Will.
So Will is now defending the Republican Party for allowing its white racist supporters an increasingly potent presence in the party leadership and increasing influence on its agenda.
I guess Will is now OK with the possibility of David Duke being elected to the house as a Republican?
House GOP leader: 'Action will be taken' after King's white supremacy comment
The top Republican in the House vowed Sunday that "action will be taken" after Iowa GOP Sen. Steve King's recent comment about white supremacy and white nationalism.
"That language has no place in America," California GOP Rep. Kevin McCarthy said on CBS' "Face the Nation."
He continued, "That is not the America I know, and it is most definitely not the party of Lincoln.
"I have a scheduled meeting with him on Monday, and I will tell you this: I've watched on the other side that they do not take action when their members say something like this."
When did a Democrat say something like this?
Sixty or seventy years ago in the days of the Dixiecrats?
"Action will be taken. I'm having a serious conversation with Congressman Steve King on his future and role in this Republican Party."
King has faced criticism after he told The New York Times that he thought it was wrong white nationalism and white supremacy were considered offensive.
"White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization -- how did that language become offensive?" King said.
Update.
The GOP leaders have shorn him of his committee assignments.
His words reveal him as a white Nativist anxious to preserve demographic majority status for American eurowhites.
They also show he is a rather Buchananist opposite of the Children of Zinn very close to dominant among the Democrats.
