MSNBC sent reporter Josh Lederman to Fort Dodge, Iowa, part of Rep. Steve King’s (R-IA) home district, to search far and wide for someone, anyone, who might defend the lawmaker’s latest disturbing remarks.
Depose the King!
Please. King could plow over their family members on his John Deere, and I’m fairly certain western iowans would vote for him directly afterwards, wearing their Hillary for Prison shirts and feeling deeply, personally threatened by Benghazi or her emails
or something.
My sister and her husband live in king’s district and of course despise him (they are most definitely not republikkkans). They’re extremely happy that he looks to be a goner one way or the other.
Hopefully he won’t resign, and the fascistgoopers will be stuck with him as their candidate in '20. A flip for the D’s.
He’s gonna need the racist vote to win again, so he might as well target the incel demographic too.
I am more than ready for this particular deplorable to be consigned to the shithole of history. He should be every bit as welcome in polite society as Roy Moore, refused service at the local McDonald’s.
MSNBC needs to be patient - and look harder - there is definitely somebody there who will open up and at least give an embarrassing statement of “what Steve was really trying to say was…”

“So far, we have not been able to find anybody,” he said.
Harriet Framholzster would defend King, but she’s in labor, having one of her brother’s kids.
“Of course I’ll still vote for him.”
Have to give King credit. He really does believe what he says. He is just not saying these things to get a rise out of people like some other hack politicians we know.
Well, no wonder. MSNBC should’ve gone to a diner in a small, rural Indiana or Ohio town.
It’s been a while since we’ve seen shirleyujest — their last post was 6mon ago.
“Of course I’ll still vote for him.”
We’re now requiring a doctor’s excuse for this sort of absence. It may also affect your pension start date.
I doubt anyone’s going to admit s/he agrees with King to a national reporter. His district knows the trouble he’s made for himself with his remarks. They know when they’re being set up.
So he is “authentic”?
The network played clips from interviews with Iowans, one calling on King to either “resign or people should fire him,” and another admitting “we’re getting laughed at” over the congressman’s remarks.
Just so we are clear…
King has been the districts’s Rep. since 2003. He’s not a freshman Rep. His constituents are figuring this out just NOW???
Perhaps Iowans don’t understand that the way to “fire him” is to re elect someone else.
On top of everything else King is a draft-dodging Chickenhawk, a la Trump!
Read how King scammed the Selective Service/draft board to keep himself warm and safe, while his fellow Iowa’s were fighting/dying in Vietnam daily!

You mean they couldn’t find one brother and sister who were married to each other in Iowa?
Another tact would be if MSNBC had sent Lederman to go interview King’s donors, or hell just list them.
The voters of Iowa were fine with racist, xenophobic, homophobic, sexist (kinda like the average description of the average Republican, ain’t it?) Rep. Steve King until he made them the butt of incest jokes.
Hey, that’s Kentucky’s problem, not ours!
