Steven King (R-Iowa): Keep Dreamers out, they are drug mules with cantaloupe calves.

You can't make this up.

For everyone who’s a valedictorian, there’s another 100 out there that weigh 130 pounds and they’ve got calves the size of cantaloupes because they’re hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert. Those people would be legalized with the same act.
- Rep. Steve King, Iowa Republican, speaking about DREAMers

Cantaloupes don't have calves; they reproduce by seeds. And if they did have babies they'd be called pups, not calves (OK, I made that up). And why would drug mules be hauling cantaloupes of any age across the border?

BUT ANYHOW: Steve King is an idiot of the same ilk as Louie Gohmert.

So, how's that minority outreach thing going for you GOPers?

My panties can't take much more of your Republican outreach to us Latinos. We know you have fantasies of us wrapping our cantaloupe legs around your back.
