POPPY HARLOW, CNN ANCHOR, NEWSROOM: Before you go, we saw Steve King reprimanded by everyone except for one member of the House. So you voted to reprimand him as well this week for his racist remarks. And you called it an overwhelmingly bold message. There was one member of Congress, a fellow Democrat, Representative Bobby Rush, who voted against that because he said, "Look, this doesn't go far enough. This is not a censure. We need to say more on these racist remarks." He said it was not worth the paper it was written on. I wonder, Congresswoman, what do you think? Do you think that Representative Steve King should be censured?</s>REP. ILHAN OMAR (D), MINNESOTA: Yes. I think it's really important in a moment -- in a time in our nation's history where racism and bigotry is rampant, that we take a bold stance. I am one that is for restoration and one that believes in restorative measures. And I hope, now that we -- that wasn't followed through with, that this serves as an opportunity for the congressman to make amends and move away from the hateful speech that he has partaken in.</s>JIM SCIUTTO, CNN ANCHOR, NEWSROOM: Congressman Ilhan Omar, thanks very much and congratulations on your election to Congress.</s>HARLOW: Thank you.</s>OMAR: Thank you for having me.</s>SCIUTTO: We'll be right back.
