Holy shit. Steve King is going full bore on CNN.

blaming the whistleblower. Claiming calls for investigation are politically motivated. INCREDIOUSLY drawing a false parallel between Susan Rice and Flynn. When all else fails, bring up Benghazi again.

I grew up in Iowa and live in Minnesota. I can't decide if I'm more embarrassed by him or Michelle Bachman.

1. He's an idiot

He's always been disgusting, but that interview was criminal. The Republicans as a group are desperate and scared. When they fall back on Benghazi, you know they have no argument.

6. or he's a part of it and is freaking out. nt

2. Then he should want an independent prosecutor.

He can't have it both ways.

I sense a full-fledged freakout among Republicans.
The thought for a month they had their glorious
Fourth Reich, unchecked power and all but they
completely fucked it up. There's blood in the water.

3. Gotta wonder why cnn would have that shithead on?

How about a Dem?

4. They want to firmly hitch their wagons to Trump's star? Fine.

We'll see how that works out for them.

5. King is a racist piece of shit, no different from anyone posting on an "alt-right" site

and I'll wager King is also a fan of Putin.

He praised Putin for locking up Pussy Riot in 2013.

9. Indeed...here's a classic

7. I just about spit up my coffee

I wondered who would be the first idiot to try to deflect with Benghazi chants again. To actually see one of them do it though.

They must have sent him out with that this morning as a trial balloon.

8. Funny how they didn't protest the leaking of DNC emails to Wikileaks

Some leakers are more golden than others.
