GOP Rep. Steve King of Iowa argues for a ban on all abortions, saying, “What if we went back through all the family trees and just pulled out anyone who was a product of rape or incest? Would there be any population of the world left if we did that?”

U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, speaks during a town hall meeting, Tuesday, Aug. 13, 2019, in Boone, Iowa. King is defending his call for a ban on all abortions by questioning whether "there would be any population of the world left" if not for births due to rape and incest. Speaking Wednesday, Aug.

“What if we went back through all the family trees and just pulled out anyone who was a product of rape or incest? Would there be any population of the world left if we did that?” King asked,The Des Moines Register, which covered the event. “Considering all the wars and all the rapes and pillages that happened throughout all these different nations, I know that I can’t say that I was not a part of a product of that.

Soon after the election, King was quoted in a New York Times story saying, “White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization — how did that language become offensive?” The comments were denounced as racist and led the House toAlthough King has usually breezed to victories in the conservative 4th Congressional District, heThis year, several candidates have said they will challenge King for the Republican nomination, including conservative state Sen. Randy Feenstra.

What the hell is he insinuating? That most people are a product of rape and incest!, what a ridiculous idea. Maybe in your family that’s true Mr. but most people in the world were born from married parents. Btw, I agree with you in banning abortion even in such cases

Why is Iowa which elected this guy one of the early states that determine which determine who is on the ticket? I question the sanity or morality of the population of this state.

This incredibly stupid argument can be used to defend slavery. In the 9th century caliphs' families had thousands of slaves. Romans much before them renewed their slave stock by 400,000 a year. So slavery should be just natural today, right? We are surrounded by imbeciles...

crazy people need help

Sixteen million people are descendants of genghis khan. I'm sure he politely wined and dined each of those women. This is the point he's making (albeit, clumsily).

Thereby proving he is qualified to be Trump's nominee for a lifetime appointment as US Ambassador to South Sudan to oversee US AID distribution of Iowa food supplies.

Speaking from your own experience of course, you are the reason Abortions should be allowed king

he just needs to go ..gone ,out , hit the door , leave, he is such a douchebag does nothing for the state of iowa except embarrassment... shame

What is wrong with him Who says that

So... This bill isn't banning abortions under all circumstances as much as it's declaring that rape and incest are necessary for the continuation of our species?

Steve King is the real Joe Dirt

God, he is an embarrassment to Iowa.

Only if all men are sterilized 😂🤣

What a backward fool!

We dont have time travel you puke-nut.

is it crack... is it crack that you smoke?!

How is this guy still in office? Bafoon and a known racist

Steve King as a teen

Steve King as a youngster

WTH? 😑

Your mother must be your sister which would explain your remark. You need immigrants in Iowa to diversify your population so you can stop screwing your relatives

Maniac!

You are a sick person.

One deserves exactly -what or who - one voted for.

Yes, the world would still be abundantly populated. The idea that there are people who voted for this person, for this reason (or any reason), amazes me.

republicanpartyofcrimeandcorruption Republicanpervertsonparade

Neonazism isn’t the pull it used to be, so he’s flogging the ol’ abortion horse

This... is a... joke headline?

Damn Steve Kings family tree must be a straight line

politicalinsidr Iowa should be embarrassed for sending this Ass-Clown to Congress. Hey Iowa, is this the best you could do? cthagod could you pls give the state of Iowa the “Donkey of Tha Day” award. They deserve it. I’m sick and tired of states sending idiots to D.C.

This man is a prime example of the new GOP

What are you trying to say dude?!

Ridiculous

Perfect example of someone who fucks himself.

Yes!!! There would be people without rape and incest. Way to encourage monsters to justify their abuse.

Vote better Iowa

He's a product of incest, that's for sure.....

What a weird, gnarled family tree this guy comes from.

Sweet home Alabama!

episcopalcafe Does he have children?

you can’t possibly be serious? Why doesn’t this kind of talk initiate an immediate investigation? He is condoning rape and incest.

I think this is quite a weak argument. In times of over population issues, plus many other good reasons for abortion, maybe better if this guy had been a bj.

It must be true because he asked his mother, auntie and sister (same person!)

Scumbag

sjgoody1 Crazy man.

IT WOULD BE ALRIGHT IF THERE WEREN'T. IF WE HUMANS CANT BE HUMANE, LET'S NOT BE

No wonder he's not thinking right due to his family tree

Too bad that his mother didn't abort him.

I'm guessing he doesn't have a uterus.

unbelievable

What is wrong with him, one of the most disgusting people to ever walk the earth.

Wonder how much the rape and incest in his family tree has affected his mental health? Or that of his ancestors? Warped genetics?

W.T.A.F.

Someone has not heard of Hyenas. Females have protection against rape.

Abort Steve King

SteveKingIA family tree has no branches.

I think I might use my one trip 'back' to sit down with Steve King's parents and say: 'Seriously...just don't fuck. Like ever.'

This man is a fucking monster.

He must live in a sad & pathetic reality if he seriously believes the majority of the world is a product of rape & incest. 😬 He needs to get out more ... & do some RESEARCH. 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏻‍♂️

For Republicans, its socialism or incest. They choose incest.

WHAT!! Has this guy ever talked to a rape victim? Nothing like victimizing the victims UNREAL

There r still people who vote for this joker

What a nut job

How does he keep getting put on the ballot?

Consider this a failed drug test

Seriously, we need mark religion as fiction. And embrace spiritualism (if there is a need) and science

GOPLeader this man needs to go.

Keep electing him Iowa. Shows your true selves. He is YOUR representative.

Once again another person without a uterus trying to make decisions for those with one...

He will never voluntarily resign. Force him out.

How do these people even get elected?

He's RIGHT BECAUSE HE IS THE PRODUCT OF......THE RAPE OF THE WICKED WITCH OF THE NORTH BY ATILLA THE HUN😡😡😡😡😡😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

Wait what?!!

If you dont allow abortion on incest you will get children like steve king

Well, if that's true then bow before women. Mankind is lucky we let you live.

Rape and incest. Only way to preserve his 'base.'

What if SteveKingIA's dad just pulled out?!?!?

Is he suggesting that everyone is born of rape or incest? I'd look at his family tree first...

That’s one way to try to go viral...

Resign.

If you believe in Adam and Eve it’s not surprising that you think every got here from incest... Just another reason of thousands to stop getting inspiration from a 2000 year old book written by Bronze Age goat herders.

So that’s how they do it in his family. Is he admitting to something?

That boy needs his hole plugged.

Wouldn't it have stopped with Adam? (If you believe that sort of thing)

His Democrat challenger is JDScholten

Good point

Does this country need a better reason to PURGE out the grand OLD party's Old men.

Kansas White Supremacists argues Rape and Incest Good.

Somebody has a screw loose!

how does it feel RepSteveKingIA to be the stupidest person in America today?

Is this guy for real!!!

Interesting resignation speech.

Yeah he’s a product of incest.

Yes, there would be peopke left and probably fewer assholes like him.

Just WOW!

This might be the most ridiculous argument I have ever heard and lately, that’s really saying something. It is appalling.

When you know better you do better.

It’s very stupid, upsetting and unhealthy. Did you think before you talk about this topic?” The product of a rape or incest “what ? a product can be a hand bug not a baby. it’s a very bad mind !! You not thinking right MR. King. Please show us your family tree ?

Steve King's family tree...

STEVE BEEN HAVING SEX WITH HIS DAUGHTERS 11 12 13 YEARS OLD HE SAY HE DON'T PULL OUT! RAPE & INCEST IS NORMAL WITH HIS VOTERS IN IOWA. TABOO?

Fuching stupid.

Idiot

Maybe in his family tree.....

Wow - hopefully this was a quote pulled out of context otherwise the word LOSER comes to mind

Were mom and dad brother and sister? Is that what happened to you?

Does he have something to tell us? Does he have an uncledad?

No doubt he sends Hallmark cards that read “Happy Birthday from Uncle Dad”

Rep King you have no right to judge and force any women whom have been rapped and abused to then force them to carry any pregnancy a result of that attack !

And this yahoo will get re-elected. Iowa, what has Steve King done for Iowa? Is he just a vote against gays, abortion and the Libs?

What a small, grim world you live in.

Hmmm, how about banning MEN

🤔🤔👎🏻👎🏻🤔🤔👎🏻👎🏻🤔🤔👎🏻👎🏻

AND, I suppose that's a key message from the Bible he wants impart on the country? I wonder if he's heard about a FLOOD and how and why it took place? What about Sodom & Gomorrah? Has he heard of a Pharaoh in Egypt? Republicans value him? SAD...

This dude needs to resign GOP wake up people

His family tree is poison oak

No question about his inbreeding repkingnutjob

King is a good reason for abortion

JUST LOOK AT ANDLISTEN TO THIS BRAIN DAMAGED POS, HE HAS NO PLACE IN CONGRESS, IN A CIVIL AMERICAN SOCIETY. HE SHOULD BE IN A PADDED CELL.

Well, at least we know HE wouldn't be here.

Well, he's kinds right. There would be no royal family in England.

Send him to Saudi Arabia

I guess he never found a woman to say yes.

Ironically, Steve King is the poster child against close breeding.

'Some people did something'

So his dad is also his brother? Is this motherfucker on drugs?

CyrusToulabi And then he dragged his woman by her hair, back into the cave.

Omg wtf?! He crazy!

W. T. F.?!

Pretty much on brand.

🤢

He is probably third or fourth generation incest.

Cray‐cray

weareiowa5news qctimes Who are the Iowans who keep voting for this lunatic? He’s not even a rational conservative

What?

I'm sure SteveKingIA was friends with Epstein. Such a weirdo.

Pretty sure that's not how abortion works

Is retroactive abortion a thing? Does anyone have a time-turner we can borrow? Ms. Granger, perhaps?

You would think that their would be consequences for this horrifying words. He’ll go about his day & get re-elected again & again.

If you believe the Adam and Eve creation truth, you must agree with the Rep.

Wow! Iowa elected a real dandy! Sooo embarrassing to hear this man talk, must've related to Delirious Donald!

Say it ain’t do !!!!🙁

I can’t believe what I’m hearing. This man is practically justifying rape and incest. His views might be different if he were wearing panties and a bra. (He might be doing that already.)

Pro abortion=babyphobes

Not in the conservative south. I mean, I guess

That statement is a true window into his soul - and that of anyone who defends him.

What if frogs and tadpoles traced their lineage

No... Adam and Eve. The end.

Things an incest loving rapist says... joke notfunny politics usa

Do you have something you need to confess Stev-o?

Mr. Oedipus.

I bet Steve King has a child porn habit.

Speechless. Utterly speechless

Yes. Apparently no one from his family given his statement. Makes me wonder about his wife and children though.

Wow this man is absolutely terrible. Can Iowa please get its act together and get rid of him?

If you believe in God, then you know that you are a product of incest. Everything comes from just 2 people: Adam and Eve.

Aye idiota

🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Please say this man’s quote was somehow taken out of context... We live in incredibly irrational political times. abortion

MissZindzi Maaan oh mannn

Not a valid argument, Steve.

Stupid comment.

Gop, you own this.

Is he implying that, he hit his sister?

I think detectives need to have conversations with all the female relatives in this creeps life.

Oh good god. Seriously? 🤦‍♀️

why are old white guys making decisions for scared young women?

Much more effective than a ban

It's so easy for a man to decide what to do in case of abortion. This will be the year 2020 and your trying to take away a woman's right. Woman will not go BACKWARDS!

Apparently not in his family. Wtf!

So women from the past welcomed these pregnancies, never mind women who once became pregnant out of wedlock used to be shamed, and ostracized. That they were called names and their babies were “bastards”.

Shoot the idiot😡

How does one actually function at that level of ignorance.

When you count abortions you have to be careful as a miscarriage is also classified as an abortion

Too F’ing bad Steve Kings mother didn’t do what he’s against. And to be clear, I’ve told my mother more than once she had no business having children. Some people should be Mandated to have abortions.

That is some fucked up thinking there Steve-o!

Wow

MAGA MOLESTING ADOLESCENT GIRLS ALLOWED MAGA MOLESTING ADOLESCENT GUYS ACCEPTED

A purely evil and highly despicable excuse for a human.

The man needs to take a class in logic.

Maybe he’s aware of lots of rape and incest in his family tree 😳. Either that or he knows a bunch of not-legit shit and has not disclosed it. 😳😳

What's his family tree look like, a stump?!? (Credit to Bill Hicks)

He’s a ducking fouche

Omg

How are his farmers enjoy living on farm welfare? When will we start drug testing farmers before getting welfare...lmao

Iowa lol.

During the deepening recession, many of you poor pale folks who continue to support your white supremacist avatar and his equally inhumane predecessors, may hae nothing more to eat than Jim Crowe.

Well,,,at least you wouldn’t find those children of rape in the Muslim world since it’s strictly forbidden in Islam and punishable better both in this life and hereafter,,,

What (and I can’t stress this enough) the fuck?!

🤔.... His family, probably not!

So this is what his family is like?

His family reunions must be lit af

People really voted for this idiot......lol

The serviceability of racism

steve king has got to GO support JDScholten Iowa

He needs to be catapulted back to the Middle Ages!

CyrusToulabi Which tells you ALL you need to know about SteveKingIA 's family history... IA04 For God's sake what are you people thinking FireSteveKing

Is the US going to give citizenship to those babies that were conceived in the US when their parents were vacationing in the US?

Someone doesn’t have a clue...?

CyrusToulabi Also AP when you give only his excellency of cuckooville a platform to spout his BS with No significant voice of reason to counter- you are giving him a platform to spout from- lending him credibility. Where is the Woman denouncing his Bull? Ever?

😡

CyrusToulabi Wow, the trumpublican family values are really something, eh?

Is this creep taking moonshine & cocaine cocktails intravenously? Cause I honestly cannot figure out how else he’d think uttering this BS was a good idea.

Did he just say, his father raped his mother to produce him?

THIS IS NOT NORMAL

CyrusToulabi Steve King is an abortion

He’s just another one of those knuckleheads

I’m so sick of other people, especially White Men, having any say over what they think is morally acceptable for me to do with my body. Last I checked white men in this country had centuries of control over our bodies. We aren’t going back!

RepSteveKingIA Hello; it's my body and my family; none of your facking business what I do. PERIOD

My GOD sis this man really that imbecile how can someone so so abnormal can have work in public service

Sounds like he was the product of rape. Poor guy.

Iowa is a 4 letter word!

So apparently he is in favor of rape and incest. What is wrong with this man!!!

No wonder Evangelical Republican kids are so screwed up. Add guns to that and you have the perfect disaster recipe.

If you think what king said was bad, thats nothing. Think about the Iowa district constituents that have voted king in election after election. That rep king represents their values. Now that's some scary s^%t. Lmao that king wasn't their outlier, he was their standard smh

Does that mean let the raping and incest begin? Wtf do you expect from anyone revolving around this administration

Appears Rep King May have a few skeletons in his closet...

Many people are sorry his mother didn't abort him.

WTF?

Where the fuck do we get these people from?

Wtf did he just say....

Getting pregnant through rape is a gift from God.

Ummm...no. Are democrats or independents so bad that his man as elected? The amount of crap that Republicans get away with is astounding. The republican party should be known as the party of more taxes, criminals, rape and incest. 🙄

Another Replubican bites the dust!

Congrats to Steve, he wins the award for 🦇💩 crazy statement of the day! 🏆

He needs to go find a nice place to retire too by himself where he can fall in a hole.

What a totally normal Christian thought to have

Could U say that again,I think I had something ridiculous in my ear. These are the ppl running the show,folks.

Nut job...

Et l’amour, putain ! Réduire des vies à être issues utilement d’une majorité de viols et d’incestes, c’est être transgressif en étant sciemment inhumain : une perversité morale ! 🇫🇷

Nobody ever said politicians had to have a brain.

I am FED UP OF OLD WHITE MEN !!!!!!

WTF !!!!

This is the GOP way of thought.

Well that’s a very rapey thing to say

Idiot

Why are people like this in Congress. Damn America how the fuck did we put a man on the moon? Apparently stevie got too much of that neanderthal gene. This idiot should not be anywhere near Congress. Wish it was on the congressional record. I will never vote GOP. Period Damn wtf

So, rapists are the heroes of the human race, and women should be thankful for sexual assaults, as long as they become pregnant. Since no woman ever got pregnant as a result of consensual sex.

This man needs to be kicked out of the GOP ASAP

wtf? these people are whacko.

IDIOT!

Omfg

what?

PSA: Do not leave this man alone with little girl.

This man could need a brain MRI

Leave him alone, he's just proud of his heritage

So now I want to know how many people he's raped.

You must live to make really ignorant statements.

SteveKingIA is a craven moron. He’s so fucking dumb.

Wow what anti science hatefulness...how such scum in office 👺👺👺👺

oh cease. Too bad his mother didn't abort him

I can think of one who probably had some incest in their tree.

This man is a product of the devil and demon ...

Wholly moley

Who votes for creatures like this?

come on Iowa, you're better than that

It is clearly obvious that Steve King views women and children as property ... fear the Steve Kings of the world ... remove them from power wherever they may be found ... this is the only way humanity will continue to evolve ...

Who votes for this guy?

The marbles are so loose in this guys head...

What an idiotic thing to say. I’m not saying it never happened or happens but certainly it is not responsible for the population.

how. is. this. guy. in. congress.

Holy fucking shit lol

2nd level distractions to our collapsing economy. Pay attention to the LOUDEST members of the GOP the next few days.

Did he just admit to rape and incest sounds like it to me

He’s still employed? A comment like this should take him directly to a mental institution. Very dangerous!

Wtf, is wrong with these Republicans?😡🤬💩

Steve king visiting family. Mum, aunt and sister came out to meet him. She was was looking well.....

Uh oh, Steve King is at it again.

Wait, so he's anti abortion but pro rape and incest? That's messed up even for Republicans

Well he probably wouldn't be alive

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

This world is FUBAR!!!

Old man talking out of his a$$

GOP = pro-rape and incest party

Are the voters in his district that stupid that they would want a congressman like this representing them? I don’t care what their 401k looks like—-well maybe after today they will care—-this guy is crazy!

So sick and sad

Can someone push him off the plane over Siberia?

So Iowa (IA-4th)? This is the best you have to offer from your State? Think you can do better.

Hope he doesn’t have daughters

Ironically, him existing is an awesome argument FOR abortion.

You wouldn't FOR SURE. your dad was a rapist.

This Guy is Horrible

I would not be surprised to learn that Steve King is the product of incest. I doubt there are a lot of branches on his family tree.

SteveKingResign

How does this man still have a job? Unbelievably stupid.

Seriously? No population left?

He seems like a swell guy. He’s perfectly suited for politics

Well, that tells us something about his family!

What an uninformed, stupid comment !

Way too much information about King's family tree.

Well that's just sick ...if rape an incest is that common it just proves men are pigs and and your disgusting for trying to make it acceptable...or are you just ignorant

So is he admiring to rape and incest sounds like it to me

What kind of monster raised him?

He's back at it again....

Then you realize this asshole is a member of the United States House Of Representatives. This begs the question. What the fuck is wrong with the people of the Iowa 4th Congressional District? Let’s put a wall around that.

Blimey

Just because the only times you’ve had sex were incest or when you were raping someone doesn’t mean that is normal...

Maybe in your family tree

Okay... you just can’t deal with this type of crazy ... hey Iowa ... are you proud of this guy? You voted him in. Since 2003 ... your monkey your circus ... SteveKingResign iowa

This is the worst, craziest stupidest shit I've ever heard

I'd be happy with just the criteria of stupid, then this story wouldn't have existed

A lot of those women aren’t even in our family trees cuz they died while having an unsafe abortion, Steve.

I don't even want to know about the skeletons in Steve King's family closet. That is one screwed-up family, am I right, SteveKingIA?

SteveKingIA

I only “liked” this as a supreme example of The Superior Stupidity Award. I know, sounds oxymoronic. It is. So, we’re just one big, dysfunctional bastard species, eh? Okay... Iowa, our condolences. Someone check DNA of RepSteveKingIA

Geez, what an absolute knuckle-dragger.

WTF is wrong with this guy? What childhood trauma caused his sick, twisted thinking
