Conservatives Push to Reinstate Steve King

“A small group of House Republicans is leading a long-shot bid to get embattled Rep. Steve King (R-IA) back on his committee assignments after the Iowa Republican was booted for making racists remarks earlier this year,” Politico reports.

“The cadre of hard-line conservatives, spearheaded by Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC), among others, has been trying to round up signatures for a draft petition that would force the GOP to consider reinstating King. The effort, however, has failed to garner enough support in the caucus.”
