The loony Representative Steve King, R-Iowa, took to Twitter to accuse President Obama of more mischief: Obama raids Redskins by weaponizing USPTO. Cancels Redskins logo! Free people will not tolerate a Kim Jong POTUS. — Steve King (@SteveKingIA) June 18, 2014 Honestly, Iowa Republicans, are you proud of this guy or embarrassed by him?
The Republicans are casting about for a candidate for President in 2016, and Chris Christie of New Jersey and Scott Walker of Wisconsin have been prominently mentioned for a while.
