During a discussion of the Republican party’s overwhelmingly white leadership on MSNBC, birther congressman Steve King chimed in on Monday to remind everyone that white people are very good (perhaps even better??) compared to “other sub-groups of people.”
Last week, U.S. Representative Steve King, a Republican from Iowa, spoke to Sioux City TV station KCAU about the bill he recently introduced in Congress. In the video interview, a Confederate flag is displayed on King’s desk, along with the U.S. flag, the Iowa state flag, the Gadsden flag, and the Papal State flag.
Last night, the New York Times reported on Iowa Congressman Steve King’s attempt to block the Obama administration from changing the face of the $20 bill from Andrew Jackson to the black abolitionist Harriet Tubman. At first glance, the piece reads as straightforward, workaday journalism. On closer inspection,…
After introducing an amendment to block the Treasury Department from putting Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill, congressman, birther and Ted Cruz understudy Steve King offered a characteristically King-ian explanation on Tuesday, slamming efforts to include women and people of color on American currency as “sexist” and…
It’s one thing to endorse someone for president. It’s a whole different ballgame to memorize what they say, word for word, and mouth it as they say it.
Iowa Congressman Steve King continued to raise doubts about Barack Obama’s place of birth long after the president released his longform birth certificate. As late as last year, he was still asserting that wherever Obama may have been born, he was “not raised with an American experience.” Which is presumably why King …
Sen. Rand Paul—who thinks he's the Republican who can get the minority vote in 2016—fucking booked it away from a Mexican immigrant today at a Steve King rally. When DREAMer Erika Andiola announced her status to King, Paul ran like the place was on fire.
There's a humanitarian crisis erupting on our nation's southern border. Or there is a ruthless plot — orchestrated by the Obama administration — to irrevocably shift the demography of Texas, and thus the whole country, into the Democratic Party's favor. Forever. Rational adults can differ on this. Let's examine.
Oh, Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa). With Michele Bachmann retiring, we're going to have to count on you for incoherent defenses of antiquarian antipathies. Like, how would you explain your disappointment in Arizona for not passing that "Gays Not Served Here" law?
What a month it's been for Republicans and rape. Since Missouri senate candidate Todd Akin — at the time leading the polls by a wide margin — told a journalist that in the case of "legitimate rape, the female body has ways" to prevent pregnancy, prominent Republicans haven't been able to avoid putting their rapey feet…
On tonight's Colbert Report, Stephen Colbert gave up trying to find an alternative to Mitt Romney and instead turned his attention to helping Mitt pick a running mate. Colbert has some thoughts on potential candidate Iowa congressman Steve King, with whom Colbert has some experience. The guy hates gays and the…
King apparently asks this difficult adult question to students K-12, just in case any of those five-year-olds are considering baby murder anytime soon. And if one of them responds with the typical psychobabble about "trimesters," he compares abortion to the similarly sunny issue of school shootings:
The House approved settlements today for black farmers whom the federal government had discriminated against in the past. In the debate beforehand, however, Rep. Steve King compared this to "slavery reparations" from the "very, very urban" Barack Obama.
Let's laugh at something a congressman recently said about gay marriage, yes? Because Rep. Steve King, a notable jackass, has a theory: Under legalized gay marriage, children would be raised collectively in "warehouses," a la Ancient Sparta, effectively ending civilization.
Fox News' Megyn Kelly and her guest, infamous rage-clown Rep. Steve King, cannot fathom why Democrats would invite comedian Stephen Colbert to a taxpayer-funded hearing today. And according to King, Colbert "staged" his recent workday with migrant laborers.
Rep. Steve King on illegal Haitian immigrants: "If they are deported, Haiti is in great need of relief workers, and many of them could be a big help to their fellow Haitians." Maybe Royal Caribbean will give them a ride?
Some people hate ultra-conservatives lawmakers because they try to restrict rights, propel hatred and are generally nasty jerks. But there's something to be said for the absurd amount of entertainment one gets from people like loony lawmaker Steve King.
Ron Paul gets shit for being the sole "no" vote on most popular, entirely symbolic bills, so when we read that there was one vote against a plaque honoring slaves at the Capitol, we thought we knew who was responsible.
