Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) said Monday that he hopes Supreme Court Justices Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor “will elope to Cuba,” hours before he is set to appear with Iowa’s governor in an election-eve rally.

King has a long history of making inflammatory comments on race and immigration. He recently drew a rebuke from a top Republican Party leader and lost support from corporations, including Land O’Lakes, although he is still favored to win reelection on Tuesday.

At an appearance in Hampton, Iowa, King was discussing the Supreme Court and said that he was optimistic that “we’ll have a 7-2 court” after Tuesday’s midterms, according to Weekly Standard assistant opinion editor Adam Rubenstein........................................

Kim Reynolds Ends Campaign With Steve King In Sioux County

Governor Kim Reynolds’ final rally of her campaign will be held in Sioux Center with Congressman Steve King.

Mired in state and national controversy over the past two weeks for his history of racist statements, King has become radioactive to many leaders within the Republican Party. The chair of the NRCC condemned King for promoting white supremacy, while conservative opinion leaders from The National Review to the Wall Street Journal editorial page has called for King to go.

But when pressed by reporters last week, Reynolds refused to remove King as her campaign co-chair, something she’s faced pressure over multiple times during her candidacy. Now she’ll share a stage with King in the final campaign event of her extremely close race for governor.

The Des Moines Register poll showed Fred Hubbell up 2 points in their final poll released on Saturday. Democratic early vote returns have looked strong this year, out-pacing their 2014 totals by a decent margin while Republicans’ early vote has stayed about the same.

Because of rump, you should have plenty of corn around, since your farmers can't sell it or at least, having a harder time getting it sold. What have you done for your farmers besides screw them out of their markets?
