Republicans Criticize Steve King Over Recent Rape Or Incest Remarks | Velshi & Ruhle | MSNBC
All King did was take Republicans’ (stupid af) views to their ideological conclusion.
Steve King is living proof that 21st century Republicanism is equivalent to mental illness.
The guy said something stupid and is probably wishing it would hurry up and go away…. but it’s festering like a sore. No big deal, in one week not one person commenting will even remember it.
You are not fair in your views.please give me a reson to like Democrats.
@Clint Eastwood “give me a reson to like Democrats”
Steve King isn’t one of them.
As a Lib, I always agreed with Conserv’s regarding smaller government and anti-Communism, but they’re responsible for the USA being the only non-Islamic country with such a high percentage of persons who respond “Yes” to survey questions regarding the belief in literal “angels”. Their religiosity and anti-intellectualism has distilled into the Trumpian universe.
Don’t blame his statements on mental illness, he’s speaking from his heart.
Is King trying to admit something he did…finding out for a friend…
LMFAO
Hey, who knows?
Don’t be so salacious.
It might have been that way in his family.
No doubt it was statutory, too.
@Geoff TuckFrump
NYC voted 93% dem
Steve King needs to be Fired…
children again pediphela
I’m a Republican, and Steve King needs to go
@Merrilou Neigenfind Excellent point.
Maybe you should change parties because Rethugliklans are all sick twisted, criminal self serving SOB’s
@Annie They weren’t always so open about it. They just lost their veneer of decency under trump.
@Annie amen
Get out and vote good, decent people of Iowa, I know you are out there. Don’t let the racist, inbred kooks keep voting in “one of their own” and smearing Iowa’s name.
Rest assure most republican conservative women in Iowa will vote for him again, and again, and again. Mark my words.
Yes, and same for Minnesota!! Get out and vote, they dont need a female representative who married their brother!!
Leonie Romanes // Since that is his opinion, it’s likely that it must represent some reality to his statement?,..
@C J yes statements like that don’t come out of the blue.
Iowa has produced American hero astronauts. And this guy represents you? Go vote for America’s sake.
😲WHAT….. in the Orwellian he//….is King talking about?!?!
he is a idot we came from adam and eve gods love
Steve King is like the KING of all racist, xenophobic, incestuous, drunk Uncles around the world.
anti Christ hater
we all got here from adam and eve love god
@Claudia Nuss Schulte Anti-Christ hater or hatefilled anti-Christ? Words matter.
He’s not fit to be employed let alone congress!
Republicans are mad Steve King says the things they think out loud
Steve was right
RayizRambo Democrats are pedophiles
Pedo-crats Vs. Re-pedo-cans
“if you plant corn you get corn.” You know, if you sow hatred you will reap hatred
The Des Moines Register got the story wrong. They misquoted Steve King which changed the entire content. This in turn caused the Associated Press to issue a correction. I Googled “AP Steve King Correction” and 47 other publications popped up issuing corrections. And I stopped after 47. Liberal media is so quick to jump on ANY and ALL Republicans without checking sources. These were all just print publications. Notice how TV media has said nothing. If it comes from liberal media, you can guarantee its a lie. And they wonder why we don’t trust them and call them the enemy.

Republican HATRIOTS
Todd Jenkins Your surly not saying if you plant white racist whining grievance you sow white racist whining grievance !?? Dude that dude is an embarrassment to human being of any ethnic background ..
@william carter Who knew Trump was a farmer too?….guess he’ll need a subsidy
Who are the people that keep electing this Neanderthal?
Elderly Trump voters
@Mike Reseigh those tiki torch jr klan dorks aren’t “elderly” tho
Those that have the same interests.
Russia hacked our demoracy
Filthy White People
He is like a one member of the squad said that guy really ? Pfff most Republicans are at their core racist…
He’s waiting for trump to add the Ivanka amendment to the constitution.
it was Malcolm X who called the liberal worse than conservatives.
And sexist
@J. Milton Jeffreys Indeed he said that liberals are the worst because they pretend to be the negro’s friend but conservatives are straight up racists in your face he appreciated their racist honesty whereas liberals just paid lip service he was right thats why I support Bernie the guy has been on the right side since the 60’s
@Deanna Delmar If everyone that isn’t in your circle of the most holy has a label and stereotype, what label are you? Or are you the perfect human we should all strive to be? Enlighten us on how you obtained such perfection. What is the secret to your success?
I think Steve King is projecting his own sick sexual fantasies…
Just like Trump, it’s all project project project
Maybe a product himself. 😕
children sick force
I don’t see Trump wanting to criticize King over incest remarks. Trump’s been weirdly fawning over Ivanka since she was 12.
@Rodney Williams Liverals dont trust the corporate sponsored MSM either. Conservatives are not the only ones the fake news goes after. Actual representatives of liberalism get character assassinated on the frequent by the news stenographers favoring their corporate overlords.
Agreed, Trumpet is a sickle 🥴🤢🤮🤮🤮
@DewDee Oh please…Don’t even think that you’re going to get me to take you seriously now. You introduced yourself as petty, so that’s how you are seen now.
@Rodney Williams Then if tou had any standards or principles, youd apply the same treatment and do the same to petty Donald J Trump.
My guess is: Youre an intellectual fraud that doesnt take their own advice seriously.
The civic standards of 2000 yrs ago should not be applied to 2019. King should be sent back in time where he belongs.
Yeah !!
That’s what CHRISTIANITY is for !! 😶
King should have never been elected, and reelected. Lol that’s the scary thing.
Just like Moscow Mitch! Unbelievable.
Never heard of it sounds like this language arts and crafts Dad sad
Steve King is the top GOP that represents all the rest in congress, just nuts.
He should be expelled AND investigated.
He’s f**king DEMENTED.
The republican party is full of psychotics. Don’t defend this guy if you know what’s good for you!
Greg Foster the democrats are filled with pedophiles
@CatOMattic 5000 Ita not a partisan issue, its about bi-partisan pedophilia in government. Both parties guilty and sick: Check this out:
https://youtu.be/4A78Zu9ZgT8
So he’s saying that somewhere in his family heritage incest occurred. It would explain why he is the way he is.
