Iowa Congressman Steve King: "I can't vote for John Boehner again."- Let the dog-pile begin!
First, my thanks to The Iowa Republican's very own Craig Robinson who posted this fascinating story about an op-ed by on Breitbart.com today...
Per Breitbart.com:
Well known conservative hardliner Representative Steve King (IA-4) announced publicly today that he will NOT vote for John Boehner to be Speaker of the House of Representatives this coming session.
This is not the first such public statement by GOPers in the House over the last few days (Representatives Gohmert and Yoho have also made similar statements this weekend), but King's maybe the most foreboding in several ways.
Firstly, for folks who haven't following my blog for very long, I have a VERY strong dislike for Representative King (to the be point he sometimes makes me embarrassed to be from the same state, but thankfully not my home district..). I do however, acknowledge that he does hold some sway within Iowa's conservative movement and is NOT to be under-estimated as a political opponent.
So why does his statement against current Speaker of the House John Boehner mean more than these previous statements?
Because of what state Mr. King represents: Iowa.
