To our mind, there are no bigger villains (or smaller human beings) in Congress than Iowa Republican Rep. Steve "Cantaloupe Calves" King (R- Nuremberg Laws). An outspoken bigot, homophobe, global warming denier and all- around ignoramus, his slack- jawed constituents have nevertheless returned King to Congress for the past 14 years, apparently being o.k. with this steaming pile of a person representing them. (On every major issue, King takes a mainstream Republican position -- i.e., the most extreme right- wing position possible.)
Today, in keeping with his villainy, he tweeted this about Dutch neo- Nazi Geert Wilders' views on racial purity:
Wilders understands that culture and demographics are our destiny. We can't restore our civilization with somebody else's babies. https://t.co/4nxLipafWO— Steve King (@SteveKingIA) March 12, 2017
"Culture and demographics are our destiny?" That sounded better in the original German (h/t Molly Ivins).
"Someone else's babies?" Keep in mind, this is someone who is a radical "pro- lifer," even opposing stem cell research. Good to see his concern for life ends at birth.
Considering King displays a Confederate flag in his office, this should come as no surprise:

This is a US Congressman. White supremacy & grotesque nativism have snaked their way back into the public square. You're not paranoid. https://t.co/oD5rOvKCOM— Mike Makowsky (@mikemakowsky) March 12, 2017
@mikemakowsky Steve King has always been a bigot though. But now it's gone mainstream.— Wafa Hakim Orman (@wafa1024) March 12, 2017
@SteveKingIA What the fuck is wrong with you?— Janet Morris (@janersm) March 12, 2017
@SteveKingIA So refreshing to see that the American tradition of racism is still alive and well in Iowa. Civilization restored. 🖕🏽FU— Raxy Nickels ✌🏽 (@yaheresthething) March 12, 2017
GOP Congressman @SteveKingIA promotes the un-American ideas of white nationalism. Will any Republican congressmen condemn his bigotry? https://t.co/5etQ8fwZx2— Evan McMullin (@Evan_McMullin) March 12, 2017
We eagerly await that condemnation from his fellow
The county I am from went 75/25 for King and Trumper.
ReplyDeleteI can't begin to fathom a vote for a candidate endorsed basically by the KKK.
Being related or other things in common do not get a pass when it comes to this ideology these people choose back there.
I hate to be like this but fuck'em all and doubt if I will ever return. This is not new but the crazy is just too much and haven't even touched on the religious side of the area. I literally want nothing or little to do with Trumper supporters no matter where they are.
Remember too they replaced Senator Harkin who brought more bacon home to these whiner farmers with a worse ideologue than that crazy bitch from Minnysota Bachman.
There will be no stopping what's happening and nobody is going anywhere. There will be little accountability if any at all for Trumper on down.
