Just how stupid are the voters in Steve King's district?

Stupid enough to re-elect this racist swine?

A GOP Congressman Wants To Defund The Harriet Tubman $20 Bill. Really.

He filed legislation to do it.

WASHINGTON — Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) has filed legislation that would block the U.S. Treasury Department from putting Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill.

King is perhaps best-known in the nation’s capital for his anti-immigration rhetoric and his hostility to undocumented immigrants. But this takes his mean-spirited forays into racial politics in a new direction.

The congressman introduced an amendment that would bar the Treasury Department from spending any funds to redesign paper money or coin currency. If approved, the language would nullify Treasury’s plans to replace the current image of President Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill with a portrait of Tubman — a black woman after generations of white men on the money.

King hopes his language will be attached to a broader bill authorizing the Treasury’s overall funding.
