Rep. Steve King says he hopes Supreme Court Justices Sotomayor and Kagan ‘will elope to Cuba’

By Felicia Sonmez November 5 at 6:15 PM

Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) said Monday that he hopes Supreme Court Justices Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor “will elope to Cuba,” hours before he is set to appear with Iowa’s governor in an election-eve rally.

King has a long history of making inflammatory comments on race and immigration. He recently drew a rebuke from a top Republican Party leader and lost support from corporations, including Land O’Lakes, although he is still favored to win reelection on Tuesday.

At an appearance in Hampton, Iowa, King was discussing the Supreme Court and said that he was optimistic that “we’ll have a 7-2 court” after Tuesday’s midterms, according to Weekly Standard assistant opinion editor Adam Rubenstein.

King added that perhaps “Kagan and Sotomayor will elope to Cuba,” referring to President Barack Obama’s two Supreme Court appointments.

A spokesman for King did not immediately respond to a request for clarification of the congressman’s remarks.

Kagan and sotomayor should be removed from the bench because they were appointed by a usurper. An illegal alien enemy combatant.

What kind of “clarification” does this statement need?

Does the questioner speak American.

I’ll get just as upset about this joke as the left did when that SNL twerp said what he did about Dan Crenshaw.

Which is to say, not at all.

Anyone who isn’t blind can see that Kagen (Fred Flintstone) and Sotomayer (Muammar Gaddafi) are lesbians.
