Steve King Promotes White Nationalist On Twitter … For The Third Time

Did you not read my last response, or are you consciously ignoring all of the points I've just made? If the government starts systematically killing people we revolt. It is one of our basic rights as Americans that we are able to own the means of defending ourselves. How many times did I say that I was personally not okay with an anti-Semite holding office? Didn't I already suggest that we revolt if the government starts infringing upon our rights? You're actively ignoring my arguments, and for what? Because you can't stand the fact that punishing people who haven't broken the law is wrong?

If they have not broken any laws, they should be able to hold office. If they're anti-Semitic, white supremacists, black supremacists, whatever, they should be able to hold office so long as they are law-abiding citizens of the United States. Even you (though I would personally also hate to see you hold any type of office) should be able to hold office so long as you meet all the requirements for the position and are a law-abiding citizen.

Just because you don't like someone, doesn't mean you should be able to strip away their rights. Grow some thicker skin and vote for people you think best represent you. Oh, and stop misconstruction other people's arguments because you get heated when you're debating. Maybe then you'll actually be able to have a reasonable argument with someone.
