Steve King files ethics complaint against top House Republican Kevin McCarthy over committee assignment debacle Print this article
Iowa Republican Rep. Steve King filed an ethics complaint against Kevin McCarthy, the leader of his own party, alleging there was a conspiracy to end his political future.
King, who filed the complaint on Dec. 16 and announced it on Wednesday, was stripped of all committee assignments nearly two years ago after he appeared to wonder when white supremacist and white nationalist became offensive terms. In the complaint, King claims there was an “overtly concerted effort” to “deprive me and my constituents of equal representation” even though he has not been found guilty of a crime nor in violation of the Code of Official Conduct.
