Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds bluntly tells Steve King to decide future amid racism allegations [View all]

{good ol' Kimmy - once she sleazed her way into being elected standing by King, now she can pretend to be holy}

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds signaled Tuesday she's lost her patience with U.S. Rep. Steve King, who narrowly won a ninth term in the U.S. House last week despite a firestorm of criticism for aligning himself with far-right European politicians and repeatedly making remarks many have deemed racist.

Reynolds said she hasn't talked with the Iowa congressman because she has been busy since the election. But, she added, “I think that Steve King needs to make a decision if he wants to represent the people and the values of the 4th District or do something else, and I think he needs to take a look at that.”

Neither she nor her campaign responded to questions about her relationship with King in the final weeks of the campaign and appeared with him in the final days of the election.

“I think it’s a little too little and a little too late. She had an opportunity to say this when it mattered, and she chose not to," said Democrat Jeff Link, an adviser to Hubbell's campaign. "She didn’t want to offend Steve King’s voters; she wanted to do anything to get through Election Day.”
