   Rep. Steve King: Without Rape and Incest, “Would There Be Any Population of the World Left?”
   
   "Iowa Rep. Steve King, defending his position of not allowing exceptions for rape or incest in abortion bans, appeared to make the argument Wednesday that there was a practical reason for not allowing victims of rape or incest to have abortions...
   
   '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 that happened throughout all these different nations, I know that I can’t say that I was not a part of a product of that'".

      Nothing is surprising coming from this guy's mouth. Hopefully he'll be gone after the next election.

   Joe Biden said poor kids are as smart as white kids.
   
   He's the front runner for the democrats. 
   
   It's funny where crazy stands in each party.

         Lol. Never heard that one?
         
         Tried to find a source you would read and not second guess.  Of course he claimed he'misspoke'. That translates to a Freudian slip.

            No need to be rude. You seem more testy than usual. I simply asked you to back up your claim. Thanks for the link. I read this from Biden:
            
            "They can do anything anybody else can do given a shot.”
            
            What a horrible thing for him to say.

               I apologize if that sounded rude.  I just didn't want you to have to find another link. I wanted you to trust the one provided.

               Are you saying he didn't say the words that came out of his mouth about poor kids and white kids?

         Biden did make that guffaw, Promisem.
         
         But I am sure that King meant exactly what he said and would not take it back, that's the difference.
         
         You would think that many rightwingers on this forum would prefer King over Trump.
