I don’t know how many pigs there are in Iowa, but I can tell you who the biggest one is. Take a look at what passes for humor in the warped, racist, sexist cerebral space that Steve King calls a mind. This is not a matter of political correctness, this is gross insensitivity.
He is a white supremacist, & he is also owned by the farm lobbies. He keeps trying to add an amendment to the farm bill to ban states from passing animal welfare laws. I’m sure he loves finding a way to insult Muslims AND promote factory farm products at the same time.

Everyone should eat pork. Hee haw, ain’t Steve clever? Maybe Joni Ernst can put an apple in his mouth and serve him at her next fundraiser. Is anybody wondering why this clown’s donor cash has dried up, why he had only two people show up to his last town hall, and why he is not exactly swamped with volunteers to get him reelected? Thought so.
I hope all he eats for the rest of his life is bacon until his little cold heart is suffocated with fat.

Couldn’t have said it better myself. And you’ll love this. King recently demanded an apology from a “very active and vibrant left-wing media” who he claimed misquoted him on his recent comments about how rape and incest are a normal part of life. He also claimed that the media “decided to do a hack job.” Oh, and he wants the Republicans to apologize to him, too. The Hill:
“Iowans are significantly more positive than they are negative, and they know it’s a misquote, and they know [The Associated Press] has, I’ll say, retracted the quote that they initially used because they relied on the Des Moines Register, who did the same,” King said, according to video from NBC affiliate WHO. “So when we have a national, viral attack that comes down on a misquote and it’s absolutely proven, all the folks that did that attack, I think they owe me an apology, including my own leadership. I don’t expect that’s going to happen because egos are a little too strong in this business.”
The Des Moines Register last week corrected a quote related to King’s remarks about members of Congress who co-sponsored legislation of his. The AP never issued a retraction of its story.
And, emphatically, the GOP is not going to apologize to Steve King. He’ll be selling snow cones in Hell long before that occurs. Maybe King figures that he’s toast and he’s decided to go out with a bang, making these incredible statements, who knows? But I long to hear his concession speech and see him relegated to the ghost-at-the-banquet club that Dana Rohrabacher deservedly, and finally, went to. Steve King is long overdue for retirement from public life.
I am just sitting here sighing and shaking my head. I just sighed again. Jesus!
I am seriously wondering if this is deliberate. He’s almost turned into Bulworth at this point in time. Remember that movie? Where the politician thought he only had a couple of days to live, so he said horrendous things? That’s what this reminds me of.
I think he is just a stupid, arrogant person.
You know, if he’s this out of touch, then he really needs to go. He’s been blatantly racist for years, but Hand to God, he’s dialed up the rhetoric lately. He either doesn’t know where the line is drawn, or he’s decided to redraw it.
To keep doubling down makes no sense to me. He has to know this kind is stuff is doing him no favors. Even his Republican buddies have basically told him to take a hike. Stupid.
He is a total enigma. I am not positive he is intentionally doubling down. I think he may well wake up each day stating: “I am not going to say anything controversial, I am going to stay out of trouble,” but then his whole personal is such that he doesn’t even recognize that he’s even in the ballpark. So, he says something he believes to be 100% safe with HIS voters, and Repubs generally, only to find out that he’s just shit all over himself again. He never knew.
Here is what I DO know. The biggest reason that the Repubs are comfortable kicking him to the curb this year is that there is no upcoming Iowa caucus for the Repubs. No one needs, nor wants, his endorsement.
IF the Repubs were caucusing in the state, the presidential candidates would have a MUCH harder time easily writing him off, bc they still want the endorsement. If their candidates needed King’s endorsement, it would be harder for Repubs generally to criticize.
This is 100% safe for Repubs to throw him over the raft.
You know much more about than politics than I do. All of you guys here do. I try to listen and learn.
Steve King is beyond stupid, he’s cruel, devastatingly demonic spawn.
Anyone supporting him needs to reevaluate their conscience, that if they have one.
And he’s wondering why his campaign coffers are empty right now…
Trump thought King was a liability to him in Iowa before. Today’s news should simply overjoy him. I see that as a little side bonus. We watch Steve King circle the drain and Trump get pissed at the same time. Win/win.
I wonder if “everyone” includes Jewish people? Of course, all the KKKristian nutjobs who call themselves evangelicals profess love of Israel they don’t actually give a flying fuck about the Jewish people or them having a homeland. They are quite clear in fact in their belief that any Jew who doesn’t convert to Christianity will be cast into hell when their Jeebus comes back!
IOW, these nutjobs don’t see Israel as a Jewish homeland at all. As far as they are concerned it’s for “Christians” and the current occupants including the group (Jewish people) in charge are nothing but servants/caretakers who will be cast aside one day. And THESE are the people right-wing Israeli’s believe are their friends?
What do you call an anal polyp? Steve King.
I think he’s just trying, begging for the Adderall Addled Assclown to let him crawl back up his ass, kinda like a self-colonoscopy, and by somehow trying to be more of a jackass than the Turd Emperor himself, maybe he thinks he can get back in the circle of evil. OR he’s just such a fucking dickhead that he can’t help it, ala Roger Stone. And I hope Jeffrey Epstein is getting slowly eaten by maggots in hell, scumfucking piece of shit.
Wasn’t a feature of Joni Ernst’s election campaign that she used to castrate pigs?
Too bad she wasn’t around to give Steve-o’s dad “the snip”.
Just looked him up on Wikipedia, he represents an area where I used to live. At that time there were three non-white families in the area, so I figure that he may actually “represent” that area. Anyway, his middle name is Arnold. Shout-out to any Green Acres fans!
