Thank God for this creep getting put out the door. Hopefully this is the start of the people reclaiming there minds . Down with the Mad king and this court of conmen and women .

A moment of silence as the door he is being escorted through slams King in the ass followed by the collective Iowan foot adding some urgency.

I'm neither red nor blue. I just want a person in that position that has the back bone to call a spade a spade. And not make up alternative facts.

[franciscojavimurillo]

So his Republican opponent won by pointing out that he couldn't be an effective racist since he wasn't on any committees. I'm going to hold off before I call this improvement.

Simultaneously hilarious and the best news I've heard in weeks.

[lonniedobbins]

Racist replaced with another racist!
That's change?

Now let's get Governor Reynolds out. Her marijuana prohibition is killing me

[Angelina-xjzd]

This evil man was thrown out because he wasn't effective anymore in his evilness, he will be replaced with a more effective evil man.

Hope the whole country vote republican

[keymaker]

Unfortunate, Mr. King was one of the few Republicans who did not mindlessly bow to the Washington consensus, even if I didn't always find his positions appealing.

[emilybazer]

Well thank goodness, I would have lost all hope in Iowa.

One neo Nazi republican down, a far more important neo Nazi left to defeat.
