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.
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.
