Steve King may have been one of the GOP's most loudly abhorrent elected members — but his colleagues have consistently demonstrated that he’s far from the most feckless or dangerous. zakcheneyrice writes

Photo: Joshua Lott/Getty Images Time is running out on Steve King’s tenure in Congress, but a quiet departure isn’t in the cards for the man whose bafflement that venerating the term “white supremacist” might get him in trouble lost him his House committee assignments in January 2019. Getting rebuked by his GOP colleagues has neither chastened him nor blunted his racist impulses.

It’s anyone’s guess why King thought this was damning. Perhaps he thinks the moral stain of rape gets passed on onto whatever offspring it produces. Maybe he believes being the first person who isn’t a white man to win the vice-presidency is a moot accomplishment if a white man is part of your gene pool. His views on genealogy might provide hints.
