'The Steve King from Maine is a writer. The Steve King from Iowa is an idiot,' he told 'Newsweek'
Author Stephen King is a horror icon, but that doesn't mean he isn't confused with other people by those who aren't scream fans. Well, with one other person. Steve King, to be exact, the U.S. Representative from Iowa. That confusion is simply going to grow as the"other" King, the nine-term congressman, faces an uphill battle with the GOP primary next Tuesday.
Though the congressman hopes to win his tenth term, the Republican nomination for Congress is really up for grabs. The other primary candidates include real estate broker Steve Reeder, State Senator Randy Feenstra, former Woodbury County Supervisor Jeremy Taylor, and the ex-mayor of Irwin, Bret Richards.
Feenstra, who has already raised more money than his opponent, called out the Republican congressman in a television ad. In the ad, King was described as someone who"couldn't deliver." Feenstra told,"Our farmers, our families, and our President deserve an effective leader that can deliver conservative results."
King, the Iowa one, is used to being in the hot seat. He has come under fire over his controversial statements about nationalism, incest and rape. Though he disputesinterview from last year, they reported he said"White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization — how did that language become offensive?"
