Lying Racist Dirtbag Steve King caught on tape calling Mexicans "dirt"

and then to top it off he called the reporter who revealed the story a liar...but the reporter has audio!


https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/audio-released-after-steve-king-dares-outlet-to-release-immigrant-dirt-tape/ar-BBPyGU0?ocid=spartanntp

The Weekly Standard released audio Saturday evening to back up its reporting on Rep. Steve King's apparent reference to immigrants as "dirt" after the Iowa Republican accused its reporter of lying and challenged the outlet to release a recording.

On Tuesday, Election Day, The Weekly Standard's Adam Rubenstein reported that King appeared to have made a thinly veiled jab at Mexicans at a Monday campaign stop in Webster City, Iowa.
The outlet reported on a particular exchange with attendees in which he talked about making pheasant noodle soup with spicy jalapenos.
"It scares off some of the people so there’s a little more for the rest of us to eat. I raised a bunch this year, and they don’t have enough bite. I guess I’m going to have to go and get some dirt from Mexico to grow the next batch," King said.
After some laughter, an attendee said, "Trust me, it’s already on its way."
"Well, yeah, there’s plenty of dirt, it’s coming from the West Coast, too. And a lot of other places, besides. This is the most dirt we’ve ever seen," King replied.

vile jokes and Neanderthal worldview? It’s bad enough that he’s in Congress. It’s worse that enough of his constituents see fit to keep voting for a dirtbag like him. How do they look themselves in the mirror every morning?

Who voted for King to be disgusting little maggots. They are far worse than he is - because he represents their beliefs.
