A few good tweets: Congressman thanks fictional Marine for his service, retweets account calling him a white supremacist
By: J.D. Simkins  
Representative Steve King (R-Iowa) could not, in fact, handle the truth.
Not only did he extend a good ol’ fashioned “Thank you for your service†to a fictional Marine colonel immortalized by Jack Nicholson in the 1992 movie “A Few Good Men,†but he did so by sharing a tweet from an account bearing a particularly damning name.
King was duped into praising Col. Nathan Jessup (Nicholson) when prompted by Ken Klippenstein, a staffer with the progressive media outlet, The Young Turks. Klippenstein sent the same tweet to a number of other conservative personalities with significantly less trolling success.
“Sir, could I plz get a retweet for my uncle Col. Nathan Jessup, he’s in the Marines and spending the 4th overseas keeping our nation safe," Klippenstein wrote in a tweet accompanied by a photo of Jack Nicholson in his famous courtroom scene.
