King(R-Ia): Dem hasn't ‘earned' debate

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — The Democratic challenger in Iowa's 5th Congressional District has crashed a town hall meeting held by Republican U.S. Rep. Steve King.

Challenger Matt Campbell says he attended the meeting Monday morning and stood near King because he was frustrated that King has refused to debate him.

The confrontation was caught on a video recording by the Sioux City Journal.

In the exchange, Campbell asked why King wouldn't debate him.

King responds, “Judging from the fashion you have conducted yourself, you haven't earned it.”

Campbell shot back: “You owe it to the voters to debate the issues.”

King, of Kiron, is seeking his firth term representing the western Iowa district. Since winning election, he hasn't debated any of his congressional opponents.

perhaps have no good ideas, it probably is a good idea not to debate anyone.

Another republican is so afraid to have their ideas brought out into the light.
If they did their ideas would melt under the glare of the day.

King is a chicken-shit, he must live near the farm that is causing all the bad eggs.
