Steve King: I Was Being ‘Kind’ By Referring To Obama’s Guest As ‘A Deportable’

DES MOINES, Iowa — Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) said Friday that he was being “kind and gentle” when he referred to Michelle Obama’s guest at the State of the Union address, a 21-year-old undocumented immigrant, as “a deportable.”

“They try to figure out what is it that they can hyperventilate about,” King said. “They want to live in a perpetual state of outrage. They’re constantly scanning something they can be outraged against.”
