Did his wife whip him for good measure to really experience what slavery was like though?
What an asshole... I need to look this guy up.
I did. Former U.S. Senator from Iowa, 2003-2021. Anti abortion, organized and attended animal fights, refers to concern about global warming as "a religion" and finds efforts to deal with it "useless", said Ted Cruz was the "answer to my prayers", opposes stricter gun regulations, opposes Affordable Care Act, anti- same sex marriage, proponent of the Great Replacement theory.
Need a bucket yet?
"Don't give in to the lies. Don't give in to the fear. Hold on to the truth. And to hope."
This is probably pretty much what a lot of rural white Americans were thinking. We find it disgusting, but they see it as truth.
What truth?
That they would rather be a slave than an aborted baby?
That slavery wasn't a big deal and they were better off for being "brought" to America, land of the free! That's my assessment any way. If you were an aborted baby, you get nothing.

yeah, i guess that makes sense from an ignorant & racist point of view, and we are talking about Steve King here. And a lot of rural white America.
So yeah, I guess I agree. It is probably pretty much what a lot of rural white Americans are thinking.

It’s a race to the bottom amongst the GOP and they want to take it nationwide. I saw an interview with the former SoS of Georgia, I think, and he was talking about how moderate repubs need to run and save the party from POOTWH. And as reasonable as he sounded and the points he made were good ones, all I could think that once elected, they’re going to have to bow to the extremists already in office, or get eaten alive, so we’ll just have more of them. It’s too late.

Normal.
I agree with you. As though Trump was the only exploitative Republican that's ever existed - what a joke.

Opinion: How Republican leaders broke Americans’ confidence Opinion by Dana Milbank July 08, 2022 at 17:32 ET On Tuesday, the venerable Gallup organization reported that just 27 percent of Americans expressed confidence in their institutions — the lowest level of trust since the questions were first asked half a century ago. On Wednesday, Mitch McConnell showed us why Americans feel this way. Republican senators announced that, under orders from the Senate Republican leader, they were pulling out of House-Senate talks finalizing details on bipartisan legislation to help the United States compete with China on semiconductor chips. It wasn’t because McConnell objected to the China bill; he was one of 19 Republican senators who voted for the Senate’s version. It’s because he objects to a second, unrelated bill Democrats are working on to lower prescription drug prices. McConnell wants to stop Democrats, including Sen. Joe Manchin III (W.Va.), from using a process known as “reconciliation” to pass that prescription-drug bill by a simple majority vote, immune from any GOP filibuster. And to stop Americans from getting cheaper prescriptions, he is willing to sabotage American manufacturers (and therefore assist China) by denying them $52 billion in support under the U.S. Innovation and Competition Act. In both cases, Americans lose — because McConnell thinks it’s to Republicans’ advantage in the midterm elections. He is willing to hurt the country, and help the Chinese, in order to harm Democrats’ political standing. “Let me be perfectly clear: there will be no bipartisan USICA as long as Democrats are pursuing a partisan reconciliation bill,” he tweeted.

sounds like a solid understanding of climate
