King, the conservative congressman who has been repeatedly reprimanded by leaders in his own party for racist rhetoric and interactions with white nationalists, finds himself in a nightmare situation for an incumbent congressman.
For years King was a major source of headaches for party leadership. He has tied immigrant children to being drug mules, questioned if minorities had contributed anything valuable to western civilization and displayed a Confederate flag on his desk. He has questioned why it’s offensive to be called a white nationalist. He has also associated with far-right figures like the Dutch politician Geert Wilders.
Story continuesThis time he is facing four other Republicans for the nomination and then a rematch against Scholten in the general election. The influential US Chamber of Commerce is actively working to oust King as well although its officials concede the race is more of an uphill battle than other races it is prioritizing.
King has a meager war chest while his opponents have proven to be deft fundraisers. Scholten has raised over $1m and spent about half of his total haul while Randy Feenstra, the preferred Republican candidate of the Chamber and establishment Republicans, has raised about $1m. King has raised about $300,000.

George Floyd Probe Echoes William Barr’s Oversight of Rodney King CaseThe attorney general held the same post under President George H.W. Bush and oversaw the federal civil-rights investigation after the videotaped police beating of Rodney King that led to the 1992 Los Angeles riots. The system is rotten from its core. It has to be uprooted. Here's the difference. Rodney king resisted arrest because he was high as a kite. Floyd died by heart condition, and they fired the cops the next day and are putting one on trial.
