Watch "not a white supremacist" GOP Rep Steve King of Iowa absolutely lose his sh*t when asked what distinguishes his ideology from that of the Pittsburgh shooter.

The real answer is: Not much.
Democrat J.D. Scholten, the former baseball player challenging GOP Rep. Steve King in Iowa, has seen a last second wave of cash come his way as King has sparked new controversy this fall.

Scholten raised over $641,000 on Tuesday and Wednesday alone.

No wall now when Republicans control the House, no wall ever. No wall, no Trump second term. No Trump knows this, the Democrats know this.

There will never be a wall. #TrumpResign #TrumpShutdown

See if you can follow:

•For decades Turkey has labeled all Kurds in its territory and on its borders terrorists (PPK(Turkey), YPG(Syria), and Iraqi Kurds)

•Syrian civil war starts and Iraqi Kurds and YPG are strategic allies to US fighting ISIS in Iraq and ISIS/Assad in Syria
•Turkey saber rattles at Iraqi Kurds and YPG but not much else since they are important US allies ans US troops are embedded with both forces for training and logistical support.

Past few days:

• US backed Kurdish forces in Syria major victory against remnants of ISIS.
• Turkey announces major offensive against Kurdish PKK in their territory (previously threatening the same to YPG)

• Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan/Trump have phone call

• Trump withdraws US from Syria without even consulting Pentagon or Secretaries of relevant depts

The synagogue shooter’s purported Gab account is filled with references to the Honduras caravan. He calls the caravan migrants “invaders” in one post—then references “invaders” again in the last post made right before the shooting.
Conservative media is making a lot of the shooter’s criticism of Trump. But, minus the overt anti-Semitism, a lot of what he posted about wouldn’t be out of place in Fox prime time: a conspiracy behind the caravan, or immigrants bent on replacing white Americans.
Last week, GOP Rep Steve King endorsed a Toronto politician who told her fans to read a book about exterminating Jews. No reaction from Paul Ryan and the rest of the GOP leadership. thedailybeast.com/rep-steve-king…

How could this be? Iowa? Really?

Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, has a 10-pt lead over Democratic challenger @Scholten4Iowa.

King's white supremacist views are in the gutter. For example, King refused to apologize for promoting a neo-Nazi on Twitter. 

siouxcityjournal.com/news/local/gov…
15 years and no committee chairmanships for Steve King.

What does the US House Republican leadership think of 
Steve King?  light weight loser

There is NO reason to keep shooting yourself in the foot Iowa with this light weight that people laugh at for good reason.

Useless
Iowa! Steve King doesn't even show up.

You are wasting tax dollars.

At least go read about and meet @Scholten4Iowa
