Rep. Steve King is laying low until the midterms after he received backlash this week from national Republicans for supporting white supremacist groups with ties to Nazis.

King has no campaign events scheduled for the rest of this week and through Election Day on Nov. 6, and his staff has stopped responding to local media inquiries, KPLC in Iowa reported.

The Republican congressman’s race in Iowa’s 4th District against Democrat J.D. Scholten has tightened in recent weeks, even though President Donald Trump carried the district by more than 27 points in 2016.

National Republicans have not clamored to King’s defense.

Instead, National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Steve Stivers publicly condemned King’s behavior.
