      "Scratch any Austrian or Bavarian of that generation, and you find a Nazi 1 or 2 layers deep," Johnson explains. Article on King meeting with Freedom Party was a hit piece. They have to make up stories about stuff outside the US, because people see what good King does in the US.

      King himself goes on to describe the meeting he had with Freedom Party members in an Austrian cafe. 'The gentleman on my right said, you should know, you're seated next to two homosexuals and a Jew. Then the guy across from me looks and says "who's the Jew?"' Room laughs heartily

      King concludes by saying there is no need to censor, or censure, anyone in Congress. We already have a mechanism to do that: elections every two years. His current troubles are due to P.C. policemen, professional hyperventilators.

      The audience absorbs this all in good stride. Final questions at the event: "We pay FEMA insurance, but have been threatened by flooding two times in 10 years!" Another constituent brings up the national debt—King will make it his top priority if they win back the House.

      A young man I had assumed was an anti-King activist asks about coronavirus; is there any concern about it originating from hogs, given how much pork is produced in Iowa? King says he doesn't know the facts well enough, is closely following the issue like everyone else.

      Another constituent: "Do you have a date set to reintroduce the Heartbeat Bill?" King explains how this bill works: "if the heartbeat is detected, the baby is protected." Talks about an 18 week old fetus named Lincoln Glenn Miller who gave testimony in the House via ultrasound

      This was the youngest person ever to testify in the House. King brought in the mom all wired up, but re-used an ultrasound tape because they couldn't be sure the baby would be awake during hearing. He timed his questions to coincide with fetus sucking thumb, moving jaw etc. [😱]

      King expressed the hope that unborn baby Lincoln, like his namesake, might become the "Great Emancipator of the Unborn". Ten states have passed heartbeat legislation, 14 more have it on the agenda. And with that, the town hall concluded.

      Thanks for reading this long thread! Again, I posted this to show what gets talked about at a constituent event by one of the most right-wing politicians in Congress. Please don't reply to this thread with political comments, it just adds noise without adding funk.

      Let me add some context to the homosexual/jew andecote upthread. I understood it as meant to illustrate that King was not at table with a crew of Nazis, but an eclectic group. I guess the joke was that the gay guy outed himself by asking about the Jew? It played well in the room!

      What struck me at both King events was how central climate change is to Iowa constituent concerns. In Sioux City, the talk was about flood control; in Clear Lake, biofuels, ethanol and hemp growing, and King's frustration trying to talk to Trump about sustainable energy.

          A second impression from both King events—they veer seamlessly from the mundane to the bonkers, and back. In Clear Lake, it was the discussion of 100 million dead unborn Americans, who could have been a labor force. In Sioux City, vigorous defense of the Austrian extreme right

          Once again, the Iowa local press was at Steve King's town hall, while the national press (who are thick as thieves in the state right now, covering repetitive stump speeches by the Presidential candidates) did not bother to attend.https://siouxcityjournal.com/news/local/steve-king-talks-trump-impeachment-in-sioux-city-visit-i/article_05ade124-769b-5d43-be77-121aa3c215a0.html#tracking-source=home-top-story-1 …

          Do they actually use the phrase “climate change?” Or is that still a hoax, and all the floods and stuff are a strange coincidence
