Steve King Facts
Bonus Fact: More reaction to King’s hurricane relief comments
Here’s the latest reaction from New Jersey to Congressman King’s comments that he would oppose hurricane relief funds because he thinks they would go to “Gucci bags and massage parlors.” This is what U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell said yesterday:
“People are hurting and Steve King wants to turn his back on these very taxpayers when they need our assistance most. I will fight for each and every person in New Jersey impacted by these horrible events, and I condemn Steve King and those like him who would dare imply they won’t be fighting right there with me.”
King’s comments were also highlighted on last night’s episode of Hardball:
Once again, Congressman King rhetoric isn’t reflective of Iowa and it’s preventing him from being an effective voice in Congress.
Fact #4: Getting desperate
With the polls tied and Congressman King once again under fire for outrageous comments, it’s no surprise that Congressman King is getting desperate in the final days of this campaign. Unfortunately, his absurd claims are just the latest example of why he’s not able to be a strong voice for the 4th District.
In Mason City yesterday, King told the audience, “I’m not convinced Christie Vilsack has moved to Ames,” a false and misleading statement that shows King is getting desperate in the final days.
While Christie Vilsack is traveling across the District discussing her plans to create economic opportunity and rebuild the middle class, Congressman King is resorting to attacks.
