The only criticism of King that I've seen have come from those who think he doesn't do enough.
I live in King's district and know him personally. The only criticism I've seen of him has either come from Dummycrats or people such as certain Freepers who believe he has not done enough.
I have never heard one word of criticism from other members of the GOP. King is HIGHLY respected among Republicans in Iowa. Go attend an event and when King is introduced he gets far more applause than anyone else. King is loved and respected.
