Rep. Steve King says he hopes Supreme Court Justices Sotomayor and Kagan will elope to Cuba
Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) said Monday that he hopes Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor will elope to Cuba, hours before he is set to appear with Iowas governor in an election-eve rally.
King has a long history of making inflammatory comments on race and immigration. He recently drew a rebuke from a top Republican Party leader and lost support from corporations including Land OLakes, although he is still favored to win reelection on Tuesday.
At an appearance in Hampton, Iowa, King was discussing the Supreme Court and said he was optimistic well have a 7-2 court after Tuesdays midterms, according to Weekly Standard assistant opinion editor Adam Rubenstein.
King added that perhaps Kagan and Sotomayor will elope to Cuba, referring to former President Obamas two nominees to the court.

He is insinuating that since they each never married that they must be gay. In addition to being a Nazi, Steve King is also an ignoramus.
