Constituents applauded Republican Rep. Steve King at the first of 39 town hall meetings the Iowa congressman plans to hold following his nearly unanimous rebuke by the U.S. House over racist comments he made during a newspaper interview earlier this month.

King took questions from about 75 people who attended the Saturday morning meeting in the tiny northwestern Iowa city of Primghar.

He did not take questions from reporters. …

GOOD!

[RedMonqey]

CNN is wetting their panties about it, too.

He did not take questions from reporters. …

Good, once burned, FOREVER shy. Don’t give the lying propagandists the time of day; if they’re drowning, don’t throw them a lifeline (they’ll try to strangle you with it when they get to shore safely).

[Vigilanteman]

Nothing makes the Deep State more fearful than a member of congress who represents the interests of their constituents more than the interests of the swamp.

[RedMonqey]

True that.

The lesson:

DO NOT TALK TO THE MEDIA.

They are NOT your friend. They are NOT seeking facts. They are NOT going to treat you fairly.

Every MSM interview with a Conservative Republican is a trap. There WILL be a 'GOTCHA' question.

Politely decline any interview request.

If you must talk to the MSM have two witnesses with you and record the interview.

Spot-on advice.

Give ‘em Hell, Steve!

“...following his nearly unanimous rebuke by the U.S. House ...”

And a painful pox upon all the rebukers.

[bigbob]

Iowans know BS when they smell it.

[Digger]

DO NOT TALK TO THE MEDIA.

What is wrong with conservatives? They must be TV crazed or just not true conservatives. You could bet if I were in their shoes I wouldn't give them the time of day.

Yah, well ... whites AREN'T reproducing as fast as muslims and Latinos, which seems to be the basis for the "racist" slam in the first place.

I thought they WANTED us to pay attention to science ?

[joma89]

I would join in with that applause.

[ncalburt]

where are the hysterical bed wetters posters so concerned about King twisted word by a Slimes commie .

The left wing media failed again in the real world .

[rawcatslyentist]

Glad to see they keep the swine away from the people!

[yesthatjallen]

What's worse are the ones who run to the media to make a comment when it's unnecessary.

If someone put a microphone in my face to force me to give them a soundbite they can use against me I would simply say, "I have no comment at this time."

Repeat as necessary.

force me to give them a soundbite they can use against me I would simply say, “I have no comment at this time.”
= = = = = = = = = =

Or just give them the ‘Sandmann’ grin - are you $hiiting me? - and walk away.

THAT really frustrates them.

Like it is said:

A fish would NEVER get caught if it kept its mouth shut.

[Olog-hai]

Unless you used a net or a spear.

[Socon-Econ]

Keep up the fight, Steve. Hope you run again because I want to contribute to your campaign.
