Don’t expect an apology from Rep. Steve King (R-IA) anytime soon — in fact, he thinks he is owed one.

If he was misquoted, what did he say? Did he tell us?
No.
Do you believe him?
Neither do I.

…I thought that women’s bodies had ways to shut down that whole pregnancy risk thing when it was legitimate rape, so aren’t King’s comments off-base anyways?

#GFY. There’s your apology.

Those who victimize many times view themselves as victims when they are called out. It is part of their pathology. Trump is exactly the same.

Useful “Britlish”
Pantovillain (Panto-villain, Pantomime Villain).
“A pantomime villain is the sort of villain you would encounter in a pantomime, a form of traditional British Christmas entertainment. The point about pantomime villains is that they are ridiculously overblown. This is done deliberately and for comic effect in an actual pantomime, but in a more serious drama a “pantomime villain” implies a villain who is meant to be a credible threat but is so over-the-top that they are hard to take seriously.”

Real headline should be…
“Republican acts like a Republican”
Or
“Embarrassing excuse for a human being speaks words”

OK, Steve. You got me. I will apologize.
I am sorry that you are such an insufferable asshole.
There. Feel better?

When did it become a point of pride to never apologize or admit to an obvious and egregious error?
Oh yeah, when Donnie and Moscow Mitch came to town.

If this was WW II and a call for volunteers, the members of the Republican Confederacy like King, Trump, Pence, Moscow Mitch, Leningrad Lindsey, Huckleberry, Gingrich, Mnuchin, Ross, Elaine Chao, and the rest of their mob would not answer the call…they’d let the Nazis slaughter the jews and minorities.
When will America take back our Democracy and defend it agains the Republican Confederates? When because the Confederacy is attacking and taking down our Democracy.

Typical asshole who has been called out. He can’t take responsibility and wants to play victim. Too bad he can’t grow a pair. Of ovaries.

Maybe he can clear this up. Might a gift of 23andme kits for all his relatives help?

So, is the quote as printed fake news? or is King’s claim that he was misquoted fake news?
I’ve read the reported quote. I have not seen context for any claim with the misquote.
I wish TPM was a little clearer about the Des Moines Register citation, where he was “reported accurately.” The DMR has an hour-long video of the event, and this assbag knows he is on video saying this at minute 40.
