Rep. Steve King shared a meme touting red states in a potential modern-day civil war. “Our country is stronger and better than this talk. To even flirt with the concept of a second civil war is callous and clueless,” JohnAvlon says in RealityCheck.
Washington Rep. Steve King, whose history of making racist remarks has recently come under scrutiny, shared a Facebook post over the weekend that boasts red states would"win" a fight against blue states — and that they have"8 trillion bullets."
"Wonder who would win..." the Iowa Republican wrote in a post Saturday, adding an emoji with a smirk. Attached to the post is a photo depicting Democratic-leaning states engaged in a fight with Republican-leaning states. The photo's caption reads,"Folks keep talking about another civil war... One side has about 8 trillion bullets, while the other side doesn't know which bathroom to use," an apparent reference to Democrats' support of gender-neutral bathrooms.
