No, I can’t.
No conservative has EVER been given a fair shake by the NY Slimes.
Gut that does not make him an idiot - I know Rep. King, and yes, he goofed, but he is not an idiot.
I’m going with a person who does idiotic things is an idiot.
“Reps. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) and Bobby Rush (D-Ill.) have both introduced resolutions to censure King for his remarks.”
From Wiki:
Bobby Rush-
“Rush’s own apartment was raided in December 1969, where police discovered an unregistered pistol, rifle, shotgun, pistol ammunition, training manuals on explosives, booby traps, an assortment of communist literature, and a small amount of marijuana.[6] Rush was imprisoned for six months in 1972 on a weapons charge, after carrying a pistol into a police station. In 1974, he left the Panthers, who were already in decline.”
The Black Panthers are a black nationalist, communist organization.
Tim Ryan-
“Born in Niles, Ohio, Ryan worked as an aide to Congressman Jim Traficant after graduating from Bowling Green State University.”
For you younger Freepers, Traficant was famous for being booted from Congress and going to prison for 7 years for bribery, racketeering and tax evasion. I wonder what kind of “errands” Traficant had Ryan do.
OK
He goofed up. That does not make him an idiot!
In my experience, just about everyone does something goofy during their lifetime; one goof does not make a person an idiot!
Steve King is not “a foolish or stupid person” just because he talked to the NY Slimes.
On the other hand, he had outstanding hair.
Bush League Republicans MUST become extinct before the Republic does.
They are not idiots, they are trying to get rid of the few that represent the citizens and stand for the rule of law.
Most of the elected are Bush League Republicans hell bent on completing the Bush Plan for North Mexico (aka USA)
"GOP leadership" is an oxymoron if I've ever heard one since the Congressional contingent is largely composed of cowards. Trump must feel like a championship coach saddled with a bumbling, second-rate squad.
#17. King should also drop out of the GOP and go “Independent”. With the loss of the House due to GOP incompetence and arrogance, they can hardly afford to lose another person.
In fact, I would like to see an Independent Caucus be created, if only with enough ex-GOPers to hold the balance of power for any close vote now, or if the GOP retakes the House in 2020.
The Demos got 60 seats. The GOP lost over 30. Ever member counts now!!
Yeah - and a "She shouldn't wear dresses that show her knees w/o expecting to be assaulted..." meme works just as well....
The problem isn't what he said, it's that so many that should know better have jumped on the NYSlimes bandwagon and shown their true colors.
The average American gets soundbites at best for their news. When you go do an interview with NYT, WAPO, CNN or NBC etc, which sound bites are they going to reply and how will they portray them? With Republicans, not favorably, so why bother?
“A great guy”
That is why they must attempt destroy him.
McCarthy must suffer great pain over this decision. Hopefully, King knows secrets that can be used to destroy him.
If nothing else, it keeps showcasing their malfeasance...the really distressing crap is how the House repubs reacted.
You are idealizing what should be, but the reality is its very bad for not well informed swing voters.
