Steve King (R-IA) joins Bachmann: Clinton Aide Is ‘Deeply Entrenched’ In The Muslim Brotherhood

Rep. Steve King (R-IA) said during a town hall meeting this week that top Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin and “her family network are deeply entrenched in the Muslim Brotherhood.” King — piling on Michele Bachmann’s anti-Muslim witch hunt - said he has never met Abedin but cited “news reports” and “investigations that have not yet been published” as his evidence. CREEDO super PAC provided Salon with the video of King’s remarks:

Nothing reactionary that Steve King says should be considered a surprise. (Unfortunately he is the Chair of the House Immigration Subcommittee.) He must think that playing the "be afraid of Muslims and their infiltration of the American government card" - reminiscent of good ol' Joe McCarthy - still has some value with the teabagger-right in the GOP. He is probably right.
