The Fallon Forum: Steve King a national embarrassment

[Ardent15]

"Dear Friends, We used to think Congressman Steve King was an embarrassment to Iowa. Well, the U.S. House member from western Iowa has convinced us we’ve underestimated his sphere of influence. Let’s face it: Steve King is an embarrassment to America.

Despite Iowa’s historically progressive reputation on many fronts, King continues to win re-election in the heavily-Republican 5th district, despite an acidic tongue whose venom only deepens the incivility and partisan divide poisoning American politics.

One hopes that King’s litany of racist, anti-gay, anti-minority, anti-immigrant, anti-poor, anti-Muslim, and essentially anti-American remarks has reached the tipping point. One hopes that his constituents are finally ready to say “enough is enough” and elect a more reasonable, balanced person to represent them.

While we wish we didn’t have to, Congressman King is one of the topics we’ll cover this week on The Fallon Forum."
