Everyone’s favorite House Representative, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, sounded off as well.
“Goodbye, Rep. Steve King. You are certainly not the only white supremacist in federal government, but you were among the most prominent. It’s a shame Republicans held you up as long as they did. See ya.”

“Congratulations Randy Feenstra on winning the GOP primary in Iowa 4. Steve King’s white supremacist rhetoric is totally inconsistent with the Republican Party, and I’m glad Iowa Republicans rejected him at the ballot box,” she said.
