Steve King (R-Fuck Nugget Shitgibbon) plants Confederate flag on desk. [View all]

Yeah every time I see fuckhead on my Facebook trending list I wince, like I did when I saw this story;

In the midst of national turmoil over race and racism, U.S. Rep. Steve King has come under fire for displaying a Confederate flag on his office desk.

Sioux City TV station KCAU recently aired a story about a bill King has introduced in Congress. In a video interview, the U.S. flag, the Iowa state flag and the “Don’t Tread on Me” Gadsden flag, among others, are shown alongside the Confederate flag on King's desk.

Betty Andrews, president of the Iowa-Nebraska NAACP State Area Conference of Branches, said the flag symbolizes division and slavery. She also called it “anti-Iowan.”

“Iowans fought and died to uphold the Union,” she said. “And given (King’s) recent attempt to block Harriet Tubman from the $20 bill, and of course his track record, I just think Iowa voters need to take another look at who they elected to office.”


Really Steve? You piss all over the graves of Iowans who died fighting the traitors who flew that piece of toilet paper by planting it on your desk.
