Rep. Steve King Drinks From “Toilet” To Own The Libs

“I actually went into that cell where it was reported they were advised they had to drink out of the toilet. I took a drink out of there. And actually it was pretty good!

“So I have a videotape and I smacked my lips but I didn’t send it out because this issue really needs to go into the rear view mirror. Why do I bring it up now, you ask? That was a littler personal experience.

“It’s not drinking out of the toilet, it’s drinking out the water fountain that’s integral with the back of the toilet. But I think there was a little language barrier there and that’s how we got that misinformation.” – GOP Rep. Steve King, speaking today at an Iowa town hall.

This was in fact the type of toilet we saw in the cell.

Except there was just one, and the sink portion was not functioning – @AyannaPressley smartly tried to open the faucet, and nothing came out.

So the women were told they could drink out of the bowl. https://t.co/rcu9Rt6B2x
