The Washington Examiner reports:
Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, argued Wednesday that Congress should build President Trump’s border wall by taking money from Planned Parenthood and federal food stamps.
On CNN, King said he supports the $1.6 billion in funding that the House is considering as a start for building the wall. But he said he’d add another $5 billion if he had his way.
“And I would find half of a billion dollars of that right out of Planned Parenthood’s budget,” he said. “And the rest of it could come out of food stamps and the entitlements that are being spread out for people that haven’t worked in three generations.”
RELATED: Earlier this year the Nazi site Daily Stormer claimed King as one of their own, declaring “he’s basically an open white nationalist at this point.
Um. I think I just got to my desk in time to hear Rep. Steve King say on CNN getting rid of food stamps would solve obesity problem.
