Do we have any Iowa Republicans here that can shed some light on Mr. Steve King.

Seems a bit rude of you to think highly enough of the New York Times to promote one of their articles but not to disable adblock for their site.

I believe the problems I am referring to are factual regardless of which newspaper reported them.

By the way, can you cite any point in the New York news article that is false?

This article seems to misrepresent things.

I wasn't aware that the Republicans were anti-immigrant. Nor did the article show some drastic increase in support for extremist viewpoints. Was there some detail that seems to justify a big concern that led you to post here?

It seems a rare expectation for Democrats or Republicans to speak against other representatives in their parties seeing that the parties are often focused on getting majority votes on bills that are typically divided on party lines. Should Democrat party members reject the communists and socialists among them because of these extreme views? Is this what you are advocating?

Often people could vote for a candidate that isn't ideal yet is a person better than the candidate of the opposing party. I suppose that is partly where your question lies, since you wanted someone to post who was more familiar with the situation.

I don't really have any opinion on it one way or the other. I just found the adblock thing really amusing.

The Readers' Digest of the article is:

Why aren't fringe extremists not marginalized in Congress?

Oh, they are marginalized, as seen of this congressman who has been there 15 years without being promoted to key roles.

Next time, read the Readers' Digest version.

Still nothing questioning the factual content of the article.

The one you misrepresent, as usual, with your headline?

The left typically tries to twist being anti-illegal immigration into being anti-immigration. Just look at the reaction to when Trump called MS-13 "animals" where the MSM and Democrats (no real difference any more) reported it as Trump calling immigrants "animals."
