MASON CITY – Polarizing pol Steve King is coming back to Mason City this week, and bringing his fiery rhetoric with him.
According to an email from King campaign field director John M. Johnson, Congressman King will be in Mason City Wednesday, August 13 for a town hall meeting. Johnson, however, neglected to write the time and location of the town hall meeting in his email, and King’s website and social media pages make no reference at all to the event.
A Republican insider told NIT that King’s Mason City town hall meeting will be at the Holiday Inn Express, 3041 4th Street SW at 10:30 AM, Wednesday, August 13. The event is presumably open to the public.
King has become a lightning rod with his divisive and poignant remarks on immigration. He said, for example, that people crossing the southern U.S. border have calves the size of cantaloupes from lugging drugs through the desert. His rhetoric has galvanized his supporters and detractors.
King’s opponent in the November election is Democrat Jim Mowrer.
Used to be you could travel the country and when people asked “Where ya from?”
You’d say “Iowa”
They’d respond “Oh ya, all the corn, the heartland of America”
not anymore
Now from Maine to California, from Washington to Florida, the first thing they all say is…
“Oh ya, you’re the dumbasses that keep electing Steve King to Congress”
Steve King should not be reelected.
Besides all of his other faults (more than can be listed), the guy is bat-shit crazy.
King can best be summed up by a single statement by the leader of his own party.
Speaker of the House, John Boehner(R) said that King is an asshole.
How bad is it, when your own party leader thinks you’re an asshole?
Knowledgeable Republicans around the country look at Steve King, shake their heads & wonder “What the hell is wrong with you people in Iowa?”
All of you King haters, you included Matt, tell me one thing that he has said that is not true in the context of the subject he was speaking about. You will not find anything.
I will still vote for a “polarizing” man than a liberal/socialist/demorat that does nothing but hate, support murder, overtax, legislate your freedom away, tell you how to spend your hard earned money, and the list goes on and on and on.
