White Nationalist Republican Congressman Is Getting Dragged for Posting a Questionable Meme Suggesting Red States Will Overtake Blue States in a Civil War

Classy.

Congressman Steve King (R-IA) was stripped of his committee assignments and admonished by leading members of his party earlier this year for defending white supremacy.

While one might assume the embattled Representative would be more measured in his public comments going forward, but King doesn't seem concerned with meeting those expectations.


The Congressman posted a meme to his Facebook page featuring the red states and blue states assembling to punch each other. The meme read:

"Folks keep talking about another Civil War. One side has about 8 trillion bullets while the other side doesn't know which bathroom to use."

Rhetoric like this only exacerbates the partisanship rampant within the United States.

Many people want King to face punishment.

Not to mention, the meme's logic is flawed.

From the illustration, to the sentiment.

Also unsettling: certain Trump supporters often warn of another civil war should Democrats regain power.

Perhaps King should choose his words more carefully since, inexplicably, people still heed them.

MAGA GOP Governor Candidate Drops Out After He's Caught Following Nonbinary Adult Performer Online

A vocal transphobe, Berrien positioned himself as a strong supporter of MAGA Republican President Donald Trump and as the conservative "family values" GOP candidate.

He would have faced off against two Republican opponents in the GOP primary to see who would make it onto the the November 2026 general election ballot.

It was no laughing matter when dozens of comedians signed on to perform at Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh Comedy Festival, which premiered last week and runs through October 9.

Organized by Turki Al-Sheikh, Chairman of the General Entertainment Authority, the festival is part of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 initiative to position the country as a hub for global cultural events. The lineup includes Kevin Hart, Aziz Ansari, Pete Davidson, Andrew Schulz, Jo Koy, Bill Burr, Jessica Kirson, Jimmy Carr, and Louis C.K.—yes, the same Louis C.K. accused by multiple women of sexual harassment in 2017.
