Top GOP Rep. Liz Cheney Calls on Steve King to Resign Over Rape, Incest Comments ...
Mediaite ^ | Aug 14 2019 | Connor Mannion

House GOP leader Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) repeated her call for Rep. Steve King (R-IA) to resign from Congress following his newly-publicized comments on rape and incest.

“What if we went back through all the family trees and just pulled out anyone who was a product of rape or incest?” King said earlier this week at Iowa’s Westside Conservative Club. “Would there be any population of the world left if we did that?”

King was apparently attempting to defend legislation to restrict abortion even in cases of rape and incest when he went on the bizarre tangent.

I mean, he’s right: Go back far enough and the old family tree will likely have an asterisk.

You’re 100% right, Trump is the last Republican president. I plan to enjoy every day he’s in office because the evil that will follow him is going to shock the dolts who think conservatism is winning the day.

They regret getting Al Franken to step down and the blackface Democrats and the physical abuser in Virginia all kept their jobs.

King is a media whore - he gets himself into trouble with little effort.

What an idiot.

Which is more embarrassing? To be conceived in rape or to be a bastard conceived outside of marriage followed by a hasty loveless non-legal wedding ceremony like Barack Obama?

The baby did nothing wrong in the rape scenario, neither did the mother. Barack’s daddy was a bigamist or a polygamist by his marriage to whatshisname was not legal as he was already married.

But Barry held his daddy in high regard and his mother in bigoted contempt. He even slurred his grandparents as racists and they raised the ingrate.

Been reading End-times verses lately. The Cal earthquakes fit in there, too.

What you say resonates deeply within me.

Steve King is exactly right.

The first humans lived for thousands of years - and thousands of generations - in small hunter gatherer groups.

Not only that, probably most of our ancient grandmothers were under the age of consent when they became pregnant with our ancestors.

Steve King should clap back by asking Liz Cheney to publicly state that none of her ancestors were conceived during incest or rape.

It wasn’t really a bizarre tangent. It was a perfectly understandable hypothetical rhetorical question. The question is what would it look like if we identified everyone’s ancestors and deleted the ones that conceived by rape or incest. The answer would be lots of my ancestors in England and Ireland who were pillaged and plundered by some of my other ancestors from Denmark. I literally would never have been born and i have hundreds of cousins that would not have been either. And speaking of incest, damn, the whole family tree of the English monarchy.

Well, since his mother was 17 when she got pregnant I’d say that was statutory rape.

King speaks the truth and has to go.
Her dad shoot his lawyer in the face and is 2nd in command, gets to stay.
Time to tell Washington rats if they don’t believe in Free speech, then they all need to shut the Phuck up!

Reading the genealogy of Christ (according to the flesh) in Matthew !:1-18 should give anyone pause.

Pay attention to the women named and the circumstances of their conception.

Cheyney needs to investigate before she opens her mouth. Anyone accused of something deserves the benefit of the doubt before taking action. Steve King NEVER said what she’s accusing King of saying. He took a lengthy way to say that life begins at conception and all human life deserves protection, no matter how conceived. King is right. Cheney is wrong.

Re: Trump is the last Republican president

I agree.

However, the problem is not RINOs or GOP-e.

Conservatives have always been a minority, but we always have exceptional voter turn out, too, which means we punch far above our weight class in many elections.

30 years of massive immigration has finally closed the door on that advantage.

We can still win local, state, and Congressional elections.

But nationally, the game is over.
