King has no committee assignments and votes with the futile minority. If he resigned the House Clerk takes over routine constituent services. If he’s gone, will Iowa even notice save that no one will report on his vile inanities?

She wants him to resign because he’s being too openly racist. Good GOPers must be genteel and patronizing about their racism

The news to me is that she is the 3rd ranking Republican rep. How bad the rest of them must be, if she’s #3?

King is just saying in public what so many deplorables say in private. That’s the dirty little secret that Liz is trying to obscure.

King: I am simply prepping to become nominee for Republican POTUS. I will win against Drumpf, who is too soft on The Browns.

She’s gunning for the top, and has a real shot at it when she returns from her August hunting trip with #s 1 & 2.

I’d suggest a pail of tar, some feathers, and a sturdy rail to run them both out of Congress.

“The people of Iowa’s 4th congressional district deserve better.”

The people of the 4th district know who Steve King is and they keep re-electing him to Congress. Now they could argue that it was cheaper to send him to Washington than having him around, but I suspect that he is one of them and represents them well.

Guess what Liz, Wyoming deserves better as well.
Funny that the leader of your party hasn’t chimed in, maybe he doesn’t have a problem with rape or incest.

“appalling and bizarre”? Why not simply “dumb-ass”? I think that would be more effective with the rank and file who don’t follow politics on a daily basis.

“What about Steve King, honey?”
“I don’t know. They say he’s a dumb-ass.”
