His stance on rape and incest has for some years now made
the US Republican Party being ridiculed as the “Rapepublican Party”, is there
any “method” to GOP Rep. Steve King’s “madness”?

Just when everyone expects that the insane cruise that is
called the Trump Administration couldn’t get much crazier, the US Republican
Party’s nexus of the rape and incest insanity Rep. Steve King made a statement
on his absolute opposition to abortion even with the rape and incest exception
clauses and stated that whether there would be any population left on Earth if
not for rape and incest – a remark that has drawn condemnation from both
Democrats and Republicans.
Back in Wednesday, August 15, 2019, GOP Rep. King reasoned
that: “What if we went back through all the family trees and pulled those
people out that were products of rape and incest? Would there be any population
of the world left if we did that? Considering all the wars and all the rape and
pillage that has taken place…I know I can’t certify that I was not a product of
that.” King said and also added that “I’d like to think that every one of the
lives of us are as precious as any other life.” he added. Given that Steve King
is a US Republican Party congressman – and not some Game of Thrones fanatic
posting an online review of some newly released directors cut – only makes the
comments even that much crazier to the average political observer.
Republican Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, the No. 3 House
Republican, said in a Tweet that the remarks were “appalling and bizarre” and
called on him to resign. Back in January 2019, House Republicans stripped Rep.
Steve King of committee assignments, an action that took place after an
interview in which he appeared to lament that the term “white supremacist” is
considered offensive. Maybe the more relevant question to ask is “Who are the
ones voting for these terrible people like Steve King or that paedophile Roy Moore into office?”
