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.

“Your ignorance of history is breathtaking.”

Your ignorance of what matters is astounding.

And I couldn’t care less about the history of Poland.

I was wrong. You’re not ignorant of history.

You’re just plain, old-fashioned ignorant.

Invasions of raping hordes are what King was referring to.

This is pretty stupid to be news. I know that King has his reasons. But from an intellectual “what if” point of view it’s actually quite an interesting thought experiment. It really doesn’t matter what your position on abortion is to think through the scenario he laid out. Not sure there is any point to it, but it’s a way of thinking about things.

“what if” every product of rape and incest, and all their descendants, were disappeared as if they never existed. How many people alive now would vanish?

Go look in the mirror. See that hair on your back? That means you’re the product of an incestuous relationship. Sorry to break the news to you.

A bunch of FReepers pimped Liz Cheney's candidacy for the U.S. Senate, arguing she was "true conservative" and the "Tea Party outsider" for Wyoming.

So, how's that been working out?

I said you are ignorant history. You admitted you were and and said you are proud of it.

I pointed out that’s not mere ignorance of history, it’s plain old-fashioned ignorance.

All the above are facts.

Go back very far and the numbers will go out of sight; as we know people lived fairly tribal not long ago. Conquer, rape, pillage, taking slaves and territory was common.

Humans have not been civilized all that long and sometimes it shows as some easily slip back into the tribal thing.

Though he is accurate, he is really stupid to say things like that now and should know better.

You lack reading comprehension. You’re attributing things to me that are untrue.

Conclusion: You, sir or madam, are a liar.

RINOs and GOPe damn sure helped keep the doors open

Cheney and Bushes and so on

We had a chance to stop it then

Those of us who opposed were smeared as racist

Even here....zotted

How soon people forget

Bashing a Cheney or Bush here in 2005 would have terminated ones career here instantly

That is when we lost

Now it’s just pumping fist and talk

I “bark” because there’s lots of wasted effort. King’s comments are a prime example.

Keep focused on 3-4 core objectives. Don’t go off into the weeds explaining those core objectives. Follow through on achieving those core objectives.

King just loves the camera. He’s an inarticulate buffoon. He does more damage then good.

Facts just aren't your thing.

Words of an ignoramus.
