Rep. Steve King Is A Despicable Human Being

Last night, I read something that Iowa Congressman Steve King said and it made me mad as expected. Knowing that one of my friends lives in his district and actually likes King, I decided to post the following on Facebook: 

Rep. Steve King (R-IA) is a despicable human being 

Nothing more, simply a statement. And to my enjoyment, this friend responded. He said: 

Please tell me why you don't like Steve King? 

I couldn’t have asked for a better response. The following is what I sent him. Just a simple list of awfulness provided by Steve King.

Rep. Steve King (R-IA) recently told a local Iowa radio station that al Qaeda would “be dancing in the middle of the streets” if Barack Obama were elected President “because of his middle name.”

King compared immigrants to “livestock” in proposing an electrified fence for the southern border. 

King said the abuse of Iraqi prisoners at Abu Ghraib amounted to little more than “hazing.” 

King praised Joe McCarthy as “a great American hero.” 

After Bush vetoed a bill that would have expanded children’s health insurance, King declared it a “victory” for kids. 

The Des Moines Register wrote in 2005: “Spare us more embarrassment: Replace King.”

King happily explained his history of working against the equal rights agenda and the "screaming, profane gays." 

King renewed his campaign against gay marriage in late 2010, saying that children raised by same-sex married couples would be similar to those "raised in warehouses."

He has yet to respond.
