So my dad says to me,
"Who was your Congressman when you lived in Iowa?"

Me: "Tom Latham. Why? What did Steve King do now?"


Ding ding ding!! He saw King on C-SPAN, ranting about "illegals"!

It's so embarassing

:banghead: :banghead:

2. I hope he didn't see that horrible opinion piece in the DSM Register
King wrote -- I've never seen anything more xenophobic in that paper. And full of "statistics" that he obviously pulled out of thin air. Just a hideous rant.

4. Check out King's website...
He has this big write-up on his site (I haven't seen the Register -- it could be the same piece) about "gringos" and how terrible they are. I mean, I'm all for tougher borders (and in truth, I don't have a problem with a wall being built), but King's spiel is bonafide xenophobic.

At this point, let's just say it like it is: Steve King is a white supremacist. He's a Klansman's wet dream.

8. Gaaaa!
Back when we had cable, seeing that man on TV made me go for the remote at lightning speed.
It's bad enough reading his words. Seeing them come out of his mouth is just depressing.
