\n Iowa\u2019s conservative congressman Steve King has been voted out of the House.<\/p>\n

The longtime incumbent known for his controversial remarks lost Tuesday\u2019s primary race to state Sen. Randy Feenstra, according to a local NBC affiliate.<\/p>\n

King was shunned by many on both sides of the aisle over the course of last year for his \u201cWestern civilization\u201d comments, with the House strip<\/a>ping him of committee assignments and President Trump barring him from a trip on Air Force One.<\/p>\n

King\u2019s 17-year Congressional career has been defined by his strong anti-immigration stance, though Feenstra was able to vanquish him in the state\u2019s 4th Congressional District by framing King as an ineffective lawmaker after he lost his committee assignments in the House, the Des Moines Register reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am truly humbled,\u201d Feenstra said in a victory tweet late Tuesday. \u201cThank you to each and every person who supported us on this journey against all odds. You delivered. But tomorrow, it\u2019s back to work.\u201d<\/p>\n

King at a town hall last May said that Western culture was superior to others, arguing that \u201cif we presume that every culture is equal and has an equal amount to contribute to our civilization, then we\u2019re devaluing the contributions of the people that laid the foundation for America and that\u2019s our Founding Fathers.\u201d<\/p>\n

And in an interview with the New York Times earlier in January, he questioned why a term like \u201cwhite supremacist\u201d was racist.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhite nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization \u2014 how did that language become offensive?\u201d he told the paper.<\/p>\n

While King might be out, it\u2019s not likely Republicans will lose the seat. After Feentsra\u2019s victory, the Cook Political Report changed its forecast for the district this November, from \u201clikely\u201d Republican to \u201csolid\u201d Republican.<\/p>\n

Feenstra will face off against Democrat Theresa Greenfield, a Des Moines real estate developer, in the general<\/a> election.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
