Anti-Trump activist group seeks ethics probe over Steve King posts critical of Parkland survivor

Source: Omaha World Herald

By Joseph Morton

WASHINGTON — An anti-Trump activist group is seeking an ethics investigation of Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, over social media posts attacking a Parkland, Florida, shooting survivor.

At issue is a meme posted on the King campaign’s Facebook page featuring a picture of Emma Gonzalez, one of the Parkland students pushing for tighter gun control laws.

The text next to her photo reads:

“This is how you look when you claim Cuban heritage yet don’t speak Spanish and ignore the fact that your ancestors fled the island when the dictatorship turned Cuba into a prison camp, after removing all weapons from its citizens; hence their right to self-defense.”

King is only representing the views of those that continue to support him in his district!

Which in my view makes those that continue to vote for him, nothing more then low life, racists and bigots who are just as evil as he is!!!
