The Iowa Republican broached the subject in a Saturday Facebook post — a bizarre meme of two fighting Frankenstein figures, one red and one blue.
By Reis Thebault Reis Thebault National and breaking news reporter Email Bio Follow March 18 at 7:43 PM Rep. Steve King has civil war on his mind.
Rep. Steve King's Facebook post about"another civil war," which he deleted Monday, two days after sharing it. King, who Congress recently stripped of committee assignments over his comments about white supremacy, annotated the image with a winking emoji and mused, “Wonder who would win....” King deleted the post, which he shared on an official campaign page, on Monday. His office did not respond to questions about the picture and his reasons for posting and removing it.Observers pilloried him for the post, which many saw as further provocation in a divisive political climate that has already seen signs of civil war rhetoric creeping into the discourse. Many called for King’s expulsion from Congress, a punishment that would end his nine-term run in office.
The Democratic Party in Clay County, Iowa, which is located in King’s district in the northwest part of the state, told its representative, “Iowa would be better off if you just resigned.”
