Why does it seem like Republican politics have more to do with sticking it to the other guy vs doing what's right.

 

[FyreWulff]

if you're wondering how he got elected in Iowa, his district is basically the very definition of the "fire and brimstone" conservative population. Every time i drive through there 90% of the radio dial is armageddon talk radio.


Also this is why the Treasury needs to speed this shit up. Shitbirds like him are going to try to defund it.

 

[neobiz]

Begins with R, ends with T

Ribbit?

But really that's a heavy word to throw around without hearing his half assed reason. Maybe he just has a hardon for Jackson and can't express it clearly.

 

[Hard]

So is he looking for someone else in her place?

 

[KingDonkeykong]

Begins with R, ends with T

Racist?

 

[Team Alucard]

Between his antics and Grassley blocking supreme court nomination, I'm doing my part next election and voting them out. Joni Ernst is still in the watch pile.

Neither of them are going anywhere.

King is in an unassailable district and Grassley is the most popular politician in the state.

 

[Josh7289]

Oh you know the reason.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

I completely misread the name as Stephen King and was extremely confused and distressed for a moment.

On topic: does this surprise anybody?

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Show him this:

Does not mean I'm going to just give up trying with that reason.

 

[Valhelm]

There's literally no justification for this other than blatant racism

What a shithead

 

[excelsiorlef]

"It's not about Harriet Tubman, it's about keeping the picture on the $20," King said Tuesday evening, pulling a $20 bill from his pocket and pointing at President Andrew Jackson. "Y'know? Why would you want to change that? I am a conservative, I like to keep what we have."

The conservative gadfly said it is "racist" and "sexist" to say a woman or person of color should be added to currency. "Here's what's really happening, this is liberal activism on the part of the president, that's trying to identify people by categories and he's divided us on the lines of groups. ... This is a divisive proposal on the part of the president and mine's unifying. It says just don't change anything."

Can't even make this shit up.

He also tried to get the House to block changing the 20 but fortunately that failed.

[RDreamer]

NeoGAF forum member RDreamer calls Rep Steve King racist and sexist and divisive.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

I like to keep what we have

Pretty much sums up everything wrong with his party at the moment.

 

[grate]

But what about his next book?

 

[ExVicis]

Your attempts to deflect aren't fooling anyone Steve.

 

[sprsk]

Gotta love the "'It is they who are the real racists!', said the racist" argument.

 

[wenis]

Trump isn't anything new. He's just apart of the curve.

 

[AtomskEater]

Pretty much sums up everything wrong with his party at the moment.

*scans post*
No lies detected.

 

[WedgeX]

Stephen King must really, really hate Steve King.

 

[El Topo]

The old "You are the real racist/sexist" argument. A classic.

 

[Edwins]

I'm glad Steve King's firm belief in keeping what we have is his most important political motivation. I look forward to his bill suggesting we keep Obama in the White House.

 

[Mattlikewhoa]

Why are they so adamant to hold onto these insane, ass backwards ideas?!? Like this man sounds like he's willing to die not to see a black women on a currency note in his life time.

 

[Aurongel]

Washington was actually on the $20 bill before Jackson so according to his linear logic, we should really go back to that because OLD > NEW.

NO EXCEPTIONS.

 

[cbrun44]

Republicans truly are giant bags of shit. It's absurd.

 

[Paskil]

This is some 1984 level newspeak shit.

 

[giga]

"Y'know? Why would you want to change that? I am a conservative, I like to keep what we have."

Someone ask him about slavery.

Never knew he was such a piece of shit.

If we set the precedent that the money can be changed, pretty soon millennials will put pewdiepie and Future on them!

 

[Team Alucard]

Never knew he was such a piece of shit.

lol really?

Steve King says shit like this almost every week.

 

[kess]

The $20 bill looked pretty badass before Steve King was even born, so fuck his misplaced concept of conservatism

Oh wait, I thought they were talking about the writer.

Oh wait, I thought they were talking about the writer.

I don't think Stephen King would be very successful at proposing legislature.

There it is.

 

[DragonSworne]

Iowa should just use it's own money.

 

[BobTheFork]

Show him this:

My brain just realized the concept of taking out a piece of paper with Harriet Tubman's face on it and putting into a stripper ass crack. That is a thing that is going to happen soon. I don't think I could spend a Tubman (the slang will be Dubman mark my words)
on any of the stupid crap I waste money on.

Wasn't Iowa...part of the Union...?

 

[rjinaz]

Pretty much sums up everything wrong with his party at the moment.

Except for when they don't, like abortion laws.

 

[bionic77]

Wasn't Iowa...part of the Union...?

He is just really into preserving certain parts of our southern heritage.

 

[Already Torn]

Wasn't Iowa...part of the Union...?

Please don't try to divide this country by separating it into groups. We're all one America.

He's trolling libs and giving his constituents something to laugh about.

 

[richiek]

The guy's a fucking racist piece of shit, so no surprise here.

 

[Permanently A]

The funny thing is you can flip this argument. "we're 20 trillion in debt, I can't believe congress is wasting time arguing about this!"

 

[Aurongel]

Oldest argumentative fallacy in the book.

 

[Hale-XF11]

Let the record state that Republican Rep. Steve King is a racist.

 

[Magni]

good news, jackson, hamilton and lincoln are remaining on the bills.

Jackson remaining is bad news though, that guy was the Trump of his era.

 

[BinaryPork2737]

Wasn't Iowa...part of the Union...?

Yes, but King has defended the use of the traitor flag in the past for reasons that definitely aren't related to the inherent racism embedded in the symbol at all.
