Hoyer Statement on Majority Whip Clyburn's Resolution Rejecting White Nationalism and White Supremacy
WASHINGTON, DC – House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today on Majority Whip Jim Clyburn's (SC-06) resolution rejecting white nationalism and white supremacy:
“There can be no room for racist and bigoted language aimed at hate and harm in our national discourse, and I join in the wholehearted condemnation of Rep. Steve King’s comments. I strongly support efforts to make clear that this House will not tolerate such hateful speech, and I am urging all Members to vote for Whip Clyburn’s resolution today. Congress must set the tone for the country, and when a Member of this body diminishes it through bigoted and threatening speech, it diminishes us all as a nation.”
