According to their website, State Reps. Karla Lems and Mark Lapka are participants in an Iowa anti-pipeline group calling themselves “the Free Soil Foundation,” as led in part by former Congressman Steve King. King, whom you will remember…
King is an opponent of immigration and multiculturalism, and has a long history of racist and anti-immigrant rhetoric and white nationalist affiliations. In 2018 The Washington Post described King as “the Congressman most openly affiliated with white nationalism.” King has been criticized for his affiliation with white supremacist ideas, made controversial statements against immigrants, and supported European right-wing populist and far-right politicians who have engaged in racism, anti-Semitism and Islamophobia.
Great company there, Representatives. Steve King is also (unfortunately) the speaker at the Pennington County Lincoln Day Dinner.
Not surprised!! They are a horrible representation of of SD & our values…add their Radical friend Amanda Radke to that list. They are trying to destroy SD Agriculture!!
Lems has to be one of the most anti-development minions ever elected. SHAME SHAME SHAME on her district voters.
My Goodness, what a one-trick pony.
Birds of a feather…..
Loony tunes on steroids!
History will forget them as it passes them bye…
Read the quote text, how is he different from Muskolini and the Cheeto in Chief? You could replace King with either and would fit perfectly.
What kind of mental gymnastics are you people doing to reconcile your world views?
