The only redesign approved by King would include “The Great Wall of the Southern Border” and a deportation bus.
What an assclown… riding the “permissible racism” wave of the Dumpster.

 It wasn't immediately clear why King opposed the
  redesign, and his office did not immediately respond 
        to messages.

I’ll go ahead and save you the time on this one …

  IT'S BECAUSE HE'S AN  ASSHOLE !  ---

All I had to read was the headline and without even opening the article, I knew it was Steve King!

Obviously he is involved in some sort of counterfeiting racket and is looking to prevent the introduction of any new anti-counterfeiting features. This criminal enterprise demands a full and extremely invasive investigation by Congress and the Secret Service. What is the motivation behind King’s counterfeiting conspiracy? Is he working in conjunction with his colleague Pete King to fund Irish terrorists targeting our British allies? How long have these King-pins of crime been funding terrorists with counterfeit American bills? The American people demand answers!

It’s gotten to the point that when I see, gop says, republican plans, tea bagger does, all I can see is the word that starts with F and ends with UCKERS.

Period! Because that is what they have become and continue to be!

An even more pitiful Steve King stunt, Mitch moving on gun legislation and Paul Ryan as an ISIL PR flack…and it’s just June.

“It wasn’t immediately clear why King opposed the redesign,”

So, has Lauren Fox, having thrown away her ‘journalistic credibility’ in record time now gotten herself a pseudonym?

Considering all the moaning and whining at the time I’m surprised it took them this long.

Steve King is worthy to eat the corn out of Harriet Tubman’s feces.

I personally think Steve King is an idiot, but I do not believe we should be replacing Presidents or Founders (Hamilton & Franklin) with historical figures, just for PC reasons.

I do think they have been a bit nutty with currency redesign the past two decades, turning the U.S. Mint into the Franklin Mint. I know much of it for paper currency has been related to dealing with counterfeiting. Maybe there should be a few more rules about this, but King’s bill is a typical GOP standing-athwart-history-yelling-stop manoeuvre.
