Iowa Representative Steve King is a parasite. He represents everything that is wrong with our country. It should not surprise you that he is a major supporter of Donald Trump.

King’s recent remarks about white supremacy and rape have left him on a political island. His own colleagues and PACs have abandoned him. This is significant because only a political disaster can force the right-wing to ostracize one of their own.

When King made the claim that America would not exist without a history of rape, he may have gone too far. Every member of today’s Republican Party in name only has distanced themselves from this maniac.

The most important fact about this situation is that all 435 members of the House are up for reelection every two years. King is broke and donations to his reelection campaign in 2020 are few. His support in Iowa is nil, and his loss in 2020 is nearly guaranteed.

Although the entire Republican Party is composed of racists and bigots, King stands above the others. He represents everything that is wrong about America.

In the 1950’s the Ku Klux Klan stood before the cameras and proudly displayed posters written on bedsheets was the slogan; “Make America Great Again.”

Trump’s infamous baseball caps have the same slogan. Is this a coincidence? I don’t think so. Throughout his illegitimate presidency he has proven that he is the leader of the white nationalist movement in America. This slogan means “Make America White Again,” and there is no denial about this fact.

Politicians like Steve King, Mitch McConnel, John Cornyn, Chuck Grassley, Jim Jordan, and many others have vowed their loyalty to the “Grand Wizard” in the White House. They are the reason America has never been great, and never will be until all racism and bigotry becomes non-existent in America.

Pure whites are a dying breed; I am one of them. When America becomes a nation of diversity and acceptance, we will finally have an opportunity to wear the label of ‘great.’

Trump’s America excludes men and women of color, race other than Caucasian, non-Christians, the LGBTQ community, and individuals with low income. This fact is why America’s reputation in the world and its future are in jeopardy.

King, Trump, Moscow Mitch, Cornyn, and others must be removed from Washington; they are the enemy of real Americans.

The mainstream media must end their cover-up of Republican’s crimes against America. They encourage anger, hatred, and violence to win elections, and all of this is conducted with falsehoods and misdirection.

The truth will set us free, and the truth cannot be hidden forever.

The very core of our nation is in danger of extinction. Trump, Moscow Mitch, and their traitorous party have become enemies of the Constitution and the future of our country.

Denial is unacceptable. The truth will never harm anyone but the guilty. Our dysfunctional government exists on secrecy. Claims of hiding facts “for reasons of national security” and other excuses for not allowing the American people to know the truth are a cover-up for hiding corruption in Washington.

Anytime our government refuses to tell the truth, they are hiding something. Time for change. Time for younger women and men to replace the Washington establishment and make America a respectable nation once again.

Tell everyone, “the truth lives here.”
