GOP Rep. Steve King Posts Violent Civil War Meme

March 18, 2019 Extremists, Republicans

Mediaite reports:

Joining in on the internet asshattery of the past week, Rep. Steve King‘s verified Facebook account posted a violent meme fantasizing about red states bashing blue states and boasting about how many bullets “one side” has. The meme was posted just days after the New Zealand massacre that took 50 lives. The bathroom snark was, no doubt, a reference to transgender restroom use, an issue that is frequently used in far-right dog whistles.

Steve King is so dense that he didn’t notice his home state is part of the losing side in the graphic https://t.co/6yzH61aAUa
