Added the warning. I am just very pissed off and wasn't thinking about the pictures at the time of post.

3. He's in favor of dogfighting...

King is a longtime advocate for legalizing dogfighting, cockfighting, and other forms of animal torture. Most recently, he fought legislation that would make it illegal to bring a child to an animal fight. He has also set aside his love for states’ rights in order to forbid localities from enacting anti-animal torture standards.

Not only should this guy not be a Congressperson, he shouldn't be allowed to drive a car.

birther, anti-Muslim comments, calling people unamerican and positions like these --that's Steve King.

the worst member of congress, period.

usually you can find one redeeming characteristic, never with this one.

i challenge you to find one redeeming quality. it will be a long search!

13. Steve King has a very long history of opposing animal rights

Congressman Steve King has voted against animal rights every term he has been in congress.

In 2006 he voted against the Animal Fighting Enforcement Prohibition Act, which strengthened the penalties for illegal dogfighting and cockfighting, making it a felony to transport animals across state lines for these gruesome and barbaric fights. (H.R. 137)
