Congressman Steve King (R-IA), famous for questioning why White supremacy and rape/incest are bad, shared a video of himself drinking from a toilet to own the libs.

King visited a border detention center amid reports that detainees were forced to drink from the toilet.


He repeated the Republican talking point that the units were, in fact, toilets with adjacent, sanitary sinks, which he demonstrated by drinking from the sink atop the bowl.

He didn't address the sworn testimony from Congress members and detainees alike who said the sinks in their units were broken and they were told to drink from the toilet anyway.

King shared the video of him drinking from the toilet on Wednesday, after an MSNBC reporter Maura Barrett reported his anecdote of doing so.

He called out Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), whose sworn testimony in a House Oversight Committee hearing mentioned the broken toilets.

She was quick to clap back.

Sorry, Steve.

Giphy

Republicans insist that the testimonies and documentation of broken toilets in overwhelmed border facilities were false, but people are rallying to AOC's side.



And King was roundly roasted.





Let's just hope Steve finds a bigger toilet for the BS he's spewing.

If you have a pet (or an Iowa Congressman) who likes to drink from the toilet, you can get this water dish, available here, to keep them from drinking from the other bowl.

Design For New Commemorative Coin Featuring Trump Just Dropped—And People Can't Believe It's Real

On March 19, the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts (CFA), comprising people appointed by MAGA Republican President Donald Trump, unanimously approved a final design concept proposed for a 24-karat gold United States semiquincentennial commemorative coin.

Instead of featuring the Declaration of Independence or some other images central to the foundation of the nation in 1776 or more universally recognized symbols from the last 250 years, the CFA chose a sketch based on a photo of Trump leaning over the Resolute desk in the Oval Office for the coin's obverse or "heads" side.

Gavin Newsom Said What We're All Thinking About Trump's Decision To Deploy ICE To Airports

After President Donald Trump moved to deploy ICE agents to U.S. airports amid a partial government shutdown that has caused exceptionally long delays at TSA lines nationwide, California Governor Gavin Newsom pointed out exactly why the move is so troubling for citizens and non-citizens alike.

ICE agents are still getting paid during the shutdown, unlike TSA agents, who are currently working unpaid and struggling amid the affordability crisis. News outlets have confirmed ICE agents have been deployed in airports that serve Democratic strongholds, particularly John F. Kennedy and LaGuardia Airports (New York), O'Hare International Airport (Chicago), and others.
