Steve King says he will run again in 2020: 'I have nothing to apologize for'
By Avery Anapol - 02/22/19 09:15 AM EST

Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), on Thursday said that he is seeking reelection despite widespread outrage over comments he made about white supremacy.

In an interview on Iowa Public Television, the lawmaker said he plans to seek a 10th term in Congress, and blamed “cyber bullying” and “dishonest” reporting for the backlash to his comments.

“I have nothing to apologize for,” he said. “Each thing starts out with some formerly credible organization that launches this and then we have this phenomenon that America is not ready for, and that’s this cyber bullying that unleashes, that’s there creating a firestorm.”

King went on to say he agrees with President Trump’s criticism of the New York Times as “dishonest.”

Good and I hope he gets re-elected.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

I'd vote for him if I lived in his district.

His not backing down for speaking the truth is a good enough reason to vote for him.
