Leave it to Iowa congressman Steve King, a pol so regularly offensive that he has somehow managed to become too racist and nativist for Donald Trump’s GOP, to take the let’s-hear-it-for-rape argument to, well, full term, as the Des Moines Register reports: What’s really weird is that King’s line of reasoning — which, if followed, would mandate the abolition of laws against rape and incest as inimical to human survival — didn’t seem to alarm his audience. According to the Register’s account, the members of the Westside Conservative Club were more interested in hearing his explanation for the comments about white nationalism and white supremacy that had gotten him bounced from his House committee assignments after the New York Times published them.
