House GOP leader criticizes King for comments about Katrina victims
MARCH 22, 2019 BY O. KAY HENDERSON

The Democratic governor of Louisiana and a Republican congressional leader are criticizing Iowa Congressman Steve King for King’s remarks about hurricane victims in their state. King was in Charter Oak for a town hall meeting Thursday and compared victims of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 to Iowans dealing with floodwaters now.

“We’re Iowans and I’m always proud of our reaction to this,” King said. “I’ve worked with the FEMA people for a long time…Here’s what FEMA tells me. We go to a place like New Orleans and everybody’s looking around saying: ‘Who’s going to help me? Who’s going to help me?’…They’re just always gratified when they come and see how Iowans take care of each other, so that’s a point of pride that spreads across the country.”

Louisiana Congressman Steve Scalise, the second-ranking Republican in the House, represents the New Orleans suburbs. Scalise called King’s remarks “absurd and offensive and…a complete contradiction” to how the people of New Orleans responded to the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. Louisiana Governor John Bel Edwards, a Democrat, tweeted that King’s comments were “disgusting and disappointing.”

What a jerk

1. Nothing like showing the world what you really are like, eh, rep. king? All full of hot air and ...

having to insult others so you'll get a kick/rise out of your few racist and bigoted supporters? As one of rep. king's fellow legislators said (Scalise): king's remarks are “absurd and offensive and…a complete contradiction” to how the people of New Orleans responded to the devastation.

king is an idiot and I hope someone in Iowa figures out another use for those Iowa corn cobs instead of just throwing them away or making a pipe out of.

3. Maybe King was referring

To the white police who fired over the heads of black refugees fleeing New Orleans. Some enterprising reporter should ask him that question.

4. Steve King lives in "it". It would be newsworthy if he ever stepped out of it.
