King save the god
Debaters will recognize the problem: When you start with a shitty premise, you can only justify it by going deeper in the toilet.
Rep. Steve King has a lot of free time now that his own leadership has relieved him of all his House committees, and he has spent some of it reading. (Probably not Nature, which is a respectable scientific publication, but some second-hand source.) He discovered that millions of men in Asia share DNA with Genghis Khan and concluded that this was a consequence of the ferocious Mongol armies and their rapey progress in the 13th century. The possibility that the great Khan practiced polygamy and fathered hundreds of children with his wives and concubines did not occur to the Sage of Iowa. He's probably a descendant of Charlemagne (not a celebrated rapist) -- most Europeans are. I digress.
King is a devout anti-choicer who believes that his god wants women to bear the children of their rapists, and should be forced to if necessary. If it's good enough for all those Asian women, it's good enough for some 13-year-old in Pellagra, Tennessee, right? Pull on your Haz-mat suit, I'm going to quote the Congressman:
"What if we went back through all the family trees and just pulled out anyone who was a product of rape or incest? Would there be any population of the world left if we did that? Considering all the wars and all the rapes and pillages taken place and whatever happened to culture after society? I know I can't certify that I'm not a part of a product of that."
What exactly did he say?
1. Rape is good because we are all products of it. (Especially African Americans, he did not add. Malcolm X hated his red hair as a reminder that one or more of his female ancestors was raped by a white man.)
2. Incest is good because -- well, have you seen the crowd at a Trump rally? I think they're all cousins.
3. "Whatever happened to culture after society?" I've been over that six times and it doesn't mean anything, except that Republicans believe English is an elitist conspiracy.
4. He has no idea what "pillage" means but it goes with "rape." I think we're talking Vikings now. Or pirates.
5. Rapists do god's work. The opinions of the blessed mothers don't matter. Abortion wicked, rape perfectly natural. Because it happened in the past!
I wonder if the Congressman has read Soul On Ice, where Eldridge Cleaver brags about raping white women as payback for the centuries of rape endured by enslaved black women. King also showed great restraint in not citing Genesis 19:36, said to be Trump's favorite: "Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father." Hubba hubba!
Yet people want to kick this defender of traditional values out of Congress. Don't you do it, Madam Speaker. Make the Republicans wear him like an ugly Christmas sweater until Iowa comes to its senses.

By King's standards, the definition of a virgin is a 14-year-old girl who can run faster than her brothers.
Yours crankily,
