Republicans have wanted to excise Steve King from their ranks for years. Next week, they will have their best shot.
State Sen. Randy Feenstra — King’s top opponent, who is flush with cash and hundreds of thousands of dollars in outside help — is hammering his message that King is no longer able to deliver because he’s deprived of his committee slots and is a pariah in the party. But he’s also treading lightly on direct criticism of King, wary of alienating the conservative voters who have elected him to Congress every two years since 2002.
“We feel so strongly that this is the first time we’ve ever gone against a sitting member," said Sarah Chamberlain, the president of the Republican Main Street Partnership. "Some of the things he says are just not helpful."King's comments reflect poorly on the whole GOP, Chamberlain added, comparing him to Todd Akin, the former Missouri congressman whose 2012 Senate campaign collapsed after he said that “legitimate rape” rarely leads to pregnancy.
“Steve King's divisive and unacceptable rhetoric over the years prevents him from delivering results for Iowans,” Hurd said in a statement to POLITICO. “And it hurts the Republican Party at a time when we should be competing for votes in communities that Democrats like Joe Biden take for granted.”
Funny they don’t like this guy but no problem with the moron in the WH?
Ousting the poster child of the modern GOP? Shocking. It’s almost like some of those guys thought the president should have been impeached back in January.
Time to sweep OUT the red! They need a decades long time out away from running our country. They have NO clue how to lead for EVERYONE. They only care about the wealthy.
Took them 18 years? Pretty pathetic. Not sure which is worse, gop or the clowns who keep voting for him. 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼
For at least a year, he was removed from Committee assignments. I’m not sure if the ban is still in place, but it needs to stay til he’s gone
That's where racists belong.. 4/5 flags Racist
He deserves to lose!!
Down he goes, (hopefully)
What's the attraction of the Embarrassment from Iowa? Who elects a guy like this and why? Nine times? Ask folks from this congressional district what they're thinking.
Im sorry, is this a Republicans bad or Republicans good article. So hard to tell.
Love it when the political hacks turn on themselves
Why is being a bigot “controversial?” An example of a “controversy” is whether we should still show love and respect for our neighbors who support and vote for a bigot, or not. They enable his evil, but we still have to live with them in peace somehow.
In their minds the very same have been dreaming about the ouster of DT, so November 3rd is an exciting day for them.
Doesn’t matter. U gotta be an assh0le to be GOP Republicans suck
Term limit of all politicians is answer,awake America,now or never, only allowe 2x6 years...
Seems he fits into the Republicans value system ! This does not seem right ! Racist Congressman republican !
Ousting StevenKng would be a first step in getting rid of the poison that has infected the GOP, over the last 4-5 years. The GOP needs to remember its values. I gave up on that party a long time ago, but that doesn't mean I haven't supported GOP candidates. I no longer can.
Where do I sign
Term limits for all.
Lol no they haven't
Good Riddance
