Rep. Steve King Blasts GOP House Fund For Supporting Gay Candidate

Source: Mediate



by Aidan McLaughlin | Nov 5th, 2018, 9:36 pm

Rep. Steve King (R-IA) blasted the National Republican Congressional Committee on Monday for supporting a gay candidate.

“They sent money over to support a candidate in a primary in California who had a same-sex partner that they put all over glossy mailers,” King said on Monday night, in a video posted to Twitter. “I don’t know if they were holding hands or what was the deal. Man, that’s hard to write a check to those guys when they do that, so I’m hoping we get conservative leadership in the House.”




King’s criticism of the NRCC comes after its chair, Rep. Steve Stivers, condemned the Iowa Republican for his “recent comments, actions, and retweets.” Among those: King’s endorsement of a white nationalist running for mayor in Toronto and embrace of an Austrian political party founded by Nazis.




It wasn’t King’s only comment of the day that stirred controversy. Earlier Monday, he bizarrely said he hopes Supreme Court Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elana Kagan “will elope to Cuba.”

who openly mocks a candidate of his own party (gay), hopes two women justices elope, and is considered by some to be racist. Maybe even they will get the message that this kind of candidate is not good for them or their businesses in Iowa?

Racist bigot.

should send a message and stop supporting this representative.

I'd hope if people boycott any business, that supports him, would get the message.

what they think about them. Some districts are full of voters that I just don't understand the rhetoric and so forth, especially in his type of district, loaded w/ farmers who rely on overseas sales of their products such as corn, pigs, etc. It's got to be hurting them.

Stephen King writes horror stories. Steve King IS a horror story. He sounds like Batty Batten the leader of UKIP! I hope he loses.
