dana: the fallout continues over comments steve king made to the new york times. now the republican s future could be in jeopardy after kevin mccarthy pledged to take action. chad pergram is live on capitol hill with more. chad? we re expecting a meeting later today between kevin mccarthy and steve king. this is the first time that kevin mccarthy has tried to talk to king about this. in the past half hour, we got a statement from bobby rush, democratic congressman from illinois that wants to censure congressman king. i m going to read part of the statement here. me resolution to censure representative king sends a message to the american people. the congress won t turned a blind eye to his racist behavior. anything sort of censure will be shallow. that s one of three formal modes of discipline in the house, censure. they ve only censured 23 members in the history of the republic. the last was charlie rangel in december of 2010.
