What the heck does Steve King do all day?

So, Steve King has been shunned. But really, it’s a light shunning.

He’s still allowed to attend the weekly Republican conference meeting, which he does, though quietly.

“There are a few people who are always at the microphones, and he isn’t one of them,” said Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, (R-Fla). “Not that that’s a bad thing.”

He hasn’t been disinvited from the semiregular Iowa delegation breakfast that Sen. Joni Ernst organizes (though he did skip the last one), and he’s the host of his own breakfast series, the Conservative Opportunity Society breakfast, featuring guest speakers such as former White House adviser Sebastian Gorka. And at a recent vote series, while King stood in the back of the chamber, texting and muttering quietly to himself, he was approached by Rep. Ted Yoho (R-Fla.), and they two laughed and laughed about who knows what.

“Oh, Steve’s doing good,” Yoho said, coming off the House floor. “He’s resilient. I think he’ll get put back on committees.”
