ROFL. Those two pieces of shit deserve each other:
Iowa's former controversial congressman, Steve King, has endorsed Vivek Ramaswamy for president.
The endorsement of King, who lost a re-election bid in 2020 after being widely condemned for his approving comments about white supremacy and white nationalism, comes less than two weeks before the Iowa Caucuses, with Ramaswamy struggling to gain momentum in a contested Republican field.
In a statement released by his campaign Tuesday, Ramaswamy said "most people are sheep when it comes to endorsements," but not King, who he called "America First before it was cool."
"The likes of Steve King and Pat Buchanan were the OGs," Ramaswamy said. "He doesn’t back down from a fight, and he certainly doesn’t bow to the establishment."
King has in recent weeks joined Ramaswamy at events in Iowa, having become an active voice during carbon capture pipeline hearings as the author and entrepreneur criticizes eminent domain on the campaign trail.
Ramaswamy said the two had found "common cause on countless issues where other Republicans are too afraid to stand up," including opposition to pipelines, ending birthright citizenship and "making English the national language."
“Vivek Ramaswamy is going to shock the world at the Iowa Caucus because he is the only candidate in this race who’s had the courage to oppose the CO2 pipelines here in Iowa, to publicly oppose the climate change cult, to commit to pardon peaceful Jan. 6 protestors on Day 1, and to end birthright citizenship for kids of illegals in this country,” King said in a statement.\\
King, who represented northwest Iowa in the U.S. House from 2003 to 2021 before losing a primary election to U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra, was the subject of a 2019 House resolution that condemned him for comments he made in an interview about immigration policy and politics. He was stripped of his committee assignments, while arguing the backlash against him as an orchestrated campaign.
"White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization — how did that language become offensive?" King said in an interview at the time.
