Steve King Asks if There Would Be ‘Any Population’ Left Without Rape and Incest
Do YOU support rape and incest as a way to perpetuate/improve the human race as the amateur anthropologist above apparently does?
Representative Steve King sought to explain his opposition to exceptions for rape and incest in anti-abortion legislation.

Representative Steve King of Iowa, a Republican whose history of making racist and divisive remarks led him to be stripped of his committee assignments earlier this year, questioned Wednesday if there would “be any population of the world left” if it were not for rape and incest. His comment drew swift condemnation from top House Republicans and at least one called for him to resign.
Mr. King, who represents a deeply conservative district in northwest Iowa, made the remarks to the Westside Conservative Club in Urbandale, Iowa, as he explained his opposition to exceptions for rape and incest in anti-abortion legislation.
“It’s not the baby’s fault,” Mr. King said, according to a video of the comments published by The Des Moines Register, which first reported the story.
“What if we went back through all the family trees and just pulled those people out that were products 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 that’s taken place, and whatever happened to culture after society, I know that I can’t certify that I’m not a product of that. And I’d like to think every one of the lives of us are as precious as any other life.
A spotlight on the people reshaping our politics. A conversation with voters across the country. And a guiding hand through the endless news cycle, telling you what you really need to know.
A spokesman for Mr. King did not immediately respond to a request for comment. But House Republican leaders broke from their August recess to publicly chastise him.
Representative Kevin McCarthy of California, the minority leader, and Steve Scalise of Louisiana, the minority whip, both said Mr. King’s comments underscored why he had been removed from his committees, though both stopped short of saying further action was necessary.
“This isn’t the first time I’ve had concerns with what Steve King has said,” Mr. McCarthy said on Fox News’ “Special Report.” “I think this just continues to show why that action was taken.”
The No. 3 House Republican, Representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming, called Mr. King’s comments “appalling and bizarre” and reiterated her suggestion that he resign.
“As I’ve said before, it’s time for him to go,” she wrote on Twitter. “The people of Iowa’s 4th congressional district deserve better.”
