Ernst, Grassley should speak out on King

Russ Swearingen

My question to U.S. Sens. Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst is simple: With all the statements made by U.S. Rep. Steve King, why is it that your strongest reaction is a strongly worded statement of your disagreement with him?

While such a response is just peachy, maybe the senators should consider taking a stronger stand and backing the chorus of Iowans demanding King’s resignation. King is already an embarrassment to this state, let’s not compound it with our senators’ lack of character.
