Did you read the linked story posted above. He didn’t say anything wrong. The Left is taking it out of context.

Speaking of friends. Steve King served in Congress for many years.

In the pre-Trump era. Suggesting King has deep state friends.

But the real fight is not the left against us.

It’s the leftist deep state against us and Trump.

King likely serves the deep state.

Yep!.....What a spectacle! Congress is there to create laws not ‘behave’ like school children at receess! Get on with your job!

Heck if we did this nonsense they’re doing in our jobs we’d be fired!

Steve King is an ardent Trumpist who scolds nevertrumper kapos constantly

So prove your assertion otherwise

If you lived and breathed the corrupt air of Congress for many years AND you were an anti-Trumper in 2016, how are you not deep state?

If it is correct then once again the Republican leaders are spinelessly sacrificing one of their own team rather than taking any heat.

“White Nationalist” means you have the balls to be honest about the FBI crime stats or stating the fact that White privilege is BS. Hell, I’ve even heard that liking Golf makes you a racist now. I hope some of these GOP-E idiots understand that we’re all racist now.

Goddamn, our people are such snivelling pussies. It's so frustrating.

Maybe King should just call the President a M-F'er to get back into the good graces of his fellow congressmen.
