"In addressing the famous Republican Rep. Todd Akin quote that the female body has the ability to prevent pregnancy in cases of incest or statutory rape, King told a reporter he’s never heard of a child getting pregnant from statutory rape or incest. “Well, I just haven’t heard of that being a circumstance that’s been brought to me in any personal way.”
Steve King is a twat but cmon, no love for KEith Ellison? am I playing this stupid ****ing game right?
I think the correct and complete answer was "Steve King is a twat." Not based on David Duke supporting him, but based on Steve King's direct quote. Don't know why you felt the need to draw in someone else into the thread. Oh yea, I do know... because you felt the need to defend Steve King, and perhaps his quote. Because him being wrong became a need to somehow defend him, so bringing up some other tweet. Regardless of content or context.
I was mocking Carl Herrera for his stupid post suggesting David Duke's approval is somehow a black mark against someone. its not. Steve King is a twat for his quote. Carl should of posted that Fred Phelps is a huge Democrat, is this somehow a comment on Dems? no This all of course went way over your head.
Fortunately, even key members of the republican party have responsibly called out Steve King for his racist comments... without the compulsion you demonstrated to somehow attempt to defend or justify by making this a partisan gotcha contest: http://thehill.com/homenews/house/323708-republicans-rebuke-king-for-racial-remarks
Lol sorry but those complicit motherf**rs don't get a gold star for this. Least among them the Coward-of-the-House Paul "Local Idiot" Ryan who issued a strong 'obviously he disagrees" statement coaxed via an unnamed spokesman. As usual, the white supremacist Trumpers are out and usual, SpeakerFitBitch is nowhere to be seen, because, after all, uh he read the Fountainhead once so he's working on really important things. Let's be real, he's as racist as the rest for doing nothing....again.
Sheepish Paul does not disappoint with his fiery condemnation: "I don’t think that statement reflects what is special about this country. I’d like to think––and I haven’t spoken to Steve about this––I’d like to think that he misspoke and it wasn’t really meant the way that that sounds, and hopefully he’s clarified that," the speaker said I'd like to think --- and I haven't spoken to Adolf about this --- that National Socialism is really more about Nationalism and Socialism, hopefully he's clarified that - German Paul Ryan, speaking out against anti-semitic rhetoric, 1936
Yeah, he's wussing out in the worst kind of way. King has already doubled down on his comments and explained that he said exactly what he means to say. Furthermore as Speaker of the House, when a member of your party starts spewing white supremacist crap, it's your duty to "speak to Steve about that." Paul Ryan is a first class puss.
I've never seen such a softball served up for a politician to repudiate, and Paul Ryan bent over and let it go right up his butt. Amazing lack of spine.
