GOP Steve King Tweets ‘Illegal Aliens Have Just Invaded My DC Office’

[egbertowillies]

When a congressman is comfortable enough to tweet racist & prejudice statements without pushback from leadership, it speaks poorly of his party.

1. It wouldn't break my heart if Steve King were abducted by aliens.

I'm sure he'd be much happier back up there in the mother ship.

3. I'm sure they could make room for him

Coulter, O'Reilly, Palin, West, Bachmann, Gohmert, Bridenstine, Mullen, Issa, Limbaugh, Beck, Malkin, and all the rest of them would just have to scrunch together closer.

Trouble is, I don't think they're wanted in their galaxy, which is why they got dumped here.

12. Only if the aliens are the ones that have that cookbook.

It would have the added benefit of having them leave us alone after that. They'd have such a horrible case of the trots from teabaggitis, they'd think all humans cause acute food poisoning.

2. Is he not technically correct?

Undocumented people are, by law, illegal aliens. How is he wrong about this when they are openly stating it? And what makes it racist? He didn't use slurs or anything.

King is an asshole's asshole but until the law changes he's not really wrong in his statement. I hate the guy but truth is truth.

4. The term has a long use in American jurisprudence

Going back to 1798, the Alien and Sedition Act.

14. Indeed, he is 100% right.

The only thing the illegal aliens should be invading is their home country.

5. It wouldn't break my heart if his office was invaded by aliens.

RAK RAK!!!

6. Too bad the "aliens" didn't vaporize Steve.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

7. Or at least probe him.

8. Lol!

Before long he'll call them terrorist tweets.

9. Earth to Steve King, layoff the acid

10. Oops! On first read I missed the "illegal" part...

11. Apparently he refused a go at the opening Senate seat in Iowa to fight against immigration reform.

Of course he'd have little chance of winning, but that's another story.

13. Welcome to DU my friend! I think King is a fool personally.
