===Opposition to Steve King===
After the strongly [[conservative]], anti-[[establishment]] representative [[Steve King]] made a blunt comment that was exaggerated by the media to promote the narrative of him being a “racist”, McCarthy and other House [[Republicans]] quickly stripped King of his committee assignments.<ref>[https://thehill.com/homenews/house/425328-gop-leaders-strip-steve-king-of-committee-assignments GOP leaders strip Steve King of committee assignments]</ref> In mid-May 2020, McCarthy stubbornly continued to vow that King “cannot be exonerated” over the mere comment that was made.<ref>Two references:
