            REJECTING WHITE NATIONALISM AND WHITE SUPREMACY

                                 ______
                                 

                               speech of

                            HON. ZOE LOFGREN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 15, 2019

  Ms. LOFGREN. Madam Speaker, I rise in support of H. Res. 41 to reject 
White nationalism and White supremacy. I applaud Mr. Clyburn and the 
House for acting against hate speech. Representative King has rightly 
been stripped of committee assignments by his colleagues, but today's 
vote has been a long time coming. His latest comments were not the 
first time Representative King has made ugly, offensive, demeaning, and 
unashamedly racist remarks. Unfortunately, for more than a decade now, 
House Republican leadership did nothing while Representative King 
freely espoused white nationalism, anti-Semitism, and bigotry. Today, 
under Democratic Leadership, the House is taking appropriate action 
against a member of the House who has time and again promoted hate 
speech in Congress and Republicans have finally acted to impose 
discipline for miscount. I urge my colleagues to support H. Res. 41 to 
reject Representative King's racism, bigotry, and hate.
