U.S. Rep. Steve King on Wednesday defended 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.
The nine-term Republican congressman, who represents a sprawling, largely rural 39-county district, has been criticized repeatedly for comments he's made over the years, especially on issues related to race and immigration. Although King has usually breezed to victories in the conservative 4th Congressional District, he narrowly won his last election over Democrat J.D. Scholten.
I understand why people hate us 😂
WHAT
But they are all for whatever war they can think up. You all realize the abortion controversy is just a bullying tactic. Period.
Jeez...this goober deserves a cabinet post
Maybe incest and rape is rampant in SteveKingIA district in Iowa but keep it in your own hometown
👎
Prolly true til a few hundred years ago. Life was rough
And the SenateGOP HouseGOP proud of this great historian that promotes 16th century crimes. Like to see his family tree. With this comment his ancestors must of been brother and sister.
🤬🤦🏼♀️
How is this jagoff Steve King still a member of Congress!!
Does this guy have a family?
HomaBashWEWS Makes you wonder if he was a rape or incest baby. And his mom was always reminded of the rape when she looked at him.
If it wasn't for the occasional failed abortion, Steve King wouldn't be here at all.
HomaBashWEWS I think he meant to say whether there would be any white people left if not for births due to rape and incest.
Ridiculous comment on his part. Totally inappropriate & disgusting.
Come on! In theory, he is absolutely correct! He is talking about hundreds of years ago...not recent generations! Get off the soapboxes and think!
Obviously mentally unstable! What planet is he from? Thank you western Iowa for voting this fruitcake in, what a disgrace.
'Born in 1949 in Storm Lake, Iowa, King attended Northwest Missouri State University from 1967 to 1970 and majored in biology and mathematics, leaving the school without graduating'
BRUH
Hi SteveKingIA there’s a special place for you in the afterlife, bring Ice!!
If it were not for shit, Steve King would have nothing between his ears.
Absolutely disgusting. His ignorance is mind boggling. SteveKingResign SteveKingIsIgnorant
Another racist/sexist member of current GOP.. I do not understand how any decent person can support current GOP. The old GOP is dead. - which is a shame.
realDonaldTrump do you support him and his comments? IvankaTrump gonna advise daddy?
People work from Dusk to Dawn but Satan's work is never done.
He is GOP why so shocked?
So, he's not prolife exactly but endorses using women as breeding animals.
Iowa’s dirty bird.
Bet his Daddy Brother taught him that.
If no population left in the world,so what?maybe another Adam and Eve ,or let the animals live in peace.
but they love him in Iowa.... his constituents have not an issue with any of his past remarks on race, guns or this absurdity ...
He needs to resign.
He truly represents the party and the base. This is the true GOP in 2019 folks!
This epitome of evil, this vile excuse for a human being ought to be handed over to rape /abuse victims and then thrown into prison. Shame on him for saying that! He should have been an abortion!
There is no law for Abortion, only a SCOTUS ruling.
Let's all look past the Chinese & ruSsian terrorist in the room slaughtering thousands of Americans 😶EmmanuelMacron 🆘😶🐛🛍️🤗 seriously 🆘 maddow MaddowBlog CIA FBI do you employ any Americans?
Just because his family tree doesn't branch and is rotting from the inside doesn't mean most families are like Steve King's. I fear for any sisters, daughters, daughters in law, and granddaughters he might have
omg, omg, omg, I wonder how many he has raped to add to the population, someone investigate. I wonder if any Reps. even cringed when they heard that disgusting remark
Religion=disease.
He’s obviously the result of incest...brain damaged beyond belief.
Maybe he knew Epstein
He needs to be censured and should resign.
Fuckin' bizarro world stuff
Ladies and Gentlemen, the Republican Party
Just...........WOW
Pray tell, why is this moron still in office? Nebraskans can’t approve. Get him out. Putty his wife & daughter’s (if he has any).
He's disgusting. He's gotta be a friend of Trump.
That is a disgusting point view !! Who in the right mind would say that !!!
What's with this resign resign for every little thing resign hungry. He was voted in so he should be voted out if his constituents want him gone.
This man IS a real idiot and should stop telling women what to do with their bodies when men do the WRONG thing—and commit criminal acts of violence against women.That is NOT ok.
Laughable ignorance.
If Rep.King comments are outrageous then I demand Omar,Cortez,Waters and the Representative from Michigan must resign.
Why didn't he just stop at all abortion without actually saying rape and incest
If by 5pm today, GOP House members don't demand that he resign, then they own him and his views. I'm betting it will be mostly crickets...
I’m sure his family line would probably end.
