Your modern Republican Party

Representative Steve King (R-Iowa) is among the least intelligent and most obnoxious members of Congress. Yesterday he cast the sole and only vote in the House refusing to recognize the efforts of slaves in the 18th and 19th century to to build, ironically, the U.S. Capitol Building. But that is hardly the only bigoted act King ever took, just the latest.

He’s now been joined by known television genius Fox & Friends, Brian Kilmeade:

"We are — we keep marrying other species and other ethnics and other … See, the problem is the Swedes have pure genes. Because they marry other Swedes …. Fins marry other Fins, so they have a pure society."

I’m not sure even Rick Santorum could translate that. Diatribes about marrying other ethnicities and "species" (SPECIES?!) is now considered proper discourse at FoxNews. While Single-Payer health coverage is a subject worth of vile ridicule — even though the Swedes have it.
