1. He is crazy

Steve King = :mad: :crazy: :puke: :crazy: :dunce: :crazy: :wow: :crazy: :nuke: :crazy: :grr: :crazy: :shrug: :crazy: :spray: :crazy: :silly: :crazy: :wtf:

Western Iowa is definitly more red than the rest of the state, but I will let someone who lives in that part of the state tell you how the people in his district react to this wingnuttery from King.

“Foreign language ballots divide our nation by language and increase the chance for error and fraud, compromising our voting process. Voters who need help in the voting booth, may bring an interpreter into the voting booth, under current federal law. Every citizen deserves to cast an informed ballot, and this is the right approach for voters who have difficulty understanding voting materials in English.

“English is the language of opportunity and America has a long, proud tradition of assimilating new immigrants. It is vital we ensure future generations will continue this tradition.”

3. It's Steve King.

That's really all that needs to be said.

4. King is a neo-Nazi

Seriously, he has been on an anti-Latino kick for as long as I have known him. He pushed the "English Only" bill through the Iowa Legislature in 2001-2002 (that Vilsack signed.)
