And those words (very big words) were so surprising! We previously had no idea that Steve King was a racist white supremacist piece of shit. We just learned this just now. And thatā€™s those of us who have never met him or conversed with him. Iā€™m sure people who have actually spent time with him and campaigned with him were even more stunned from out of the blue.

The GOP lost badly in Iowa in the midterms, I guess Joni got the message that pandering to loudmouth racists is no longer a winning strategy.

Offensive and racist. To people of color.

Otherwise, perfectly acceptable to the typical Iowa demographic that elected King, Ernst, and Grassholeā€¦

Sounds like Joniā€™s scared of losing her seat next year.

Ernst > Scott

That said, someone must have told her that sheā€™s not getting Kingā€™s district in 2020.

Turns out she has more balls than the average Republican male but then she cuts them off some poor unsuspecting bull or boar. :wink:

Yet she, like most Iowa Rā€™s campaigned with King. Also what about her trip to Mississippi?

Parroting, parroting words of minimal human decency. As if this infirmation is new.

Even the National Review had an article recommending Republicans dump Steve King. Excerpt:

Kingā€™s comments are odious and indefensible and follow a recent pattern of irresponsible demagogy on third-rail political issues. They donā€™t represent conservatism and he should be jettisoned by the Right.

Donā€™t mean to be a nit pickerā€¦ but I will anyway. :slight_smile:
That tool doesnā€™t cut them off. It puts a ā€œrubber bandā€ around it, cutting off the blood flow and killing the offending scrotum so that it eventually falls off on itā€™s own,

Rot runs deedp and wide in the widwest among Koch cronies (Ricketts) and their recruits (Ernst).
This article deals with NE governor condemning an authur and book writing about NE farmers fighting against the pipeline to save their land and Ricketts support of King.

You canā€™t call King a racist unless he is wearing his white hood and sheet!

Though I did, someone should tell them that since its founding, there have always been ā€˜Steve Kingsā€™ in that party.
