The White House is describing comments by Republican Rep. Steve King about white supremacy as �abhorrent.�
Presidential press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders is praising the move by House Republicans to strip the nine-term Iowa lawmaker of his committee assignments.
King was quoted last week by The New York Times as saying: �White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization � how did that language become offensive?�
Those comments were widely denounced as racist.
The House on Tuesday approved a Democratic measure rebuking King. In addition, a member of the Republican leadership suggested that King leave Congress.
At the White House, Sanders says King�s comments were, in her words, �abhorrent.�
When President Donald Trump was asked on Monday about King�s remarks, he said: �I haven�t been following it.�
