Iowa's largest and most influential newspaper, The Des Moines Register, slammed Representative Steve King (Republican - Iowa) in a scathing editorial that went also after the GOP as a whole.
"This one's a no-brainer for any Iowan who has cringed at eight-term incumbent King’s increasing obsession with being a cultural provocateur.
In his almost 16 years in Congress, King has passed exactly one bill as primary sponsor, redesignating a post office.
Instead, he spends his time meeting with fascist leaders in Europe and retweeting neo-Nazis.".
Later, the paper noted it not only endorsed Democrat J.D. Scholten "as an antidote for King’s virulent xenophobia but as a promising new leader.".
In support of Dutch politician Geert Wilders, he once tweeted, for instance: "Wilders understands that culture and demographics are our destiny.
A survey from Emerson colleged showed the GOP candidate had a 10-point advantage. »
