Rep. Steve King (R-IA) violated Debate rules footage shows

--Let's face it they just can't follow the rules:

King Violated Debate Rules
When Rep. Steve King (R) debated Christie Vilsack (D) earlier this week video footage shows he brought notes with him, Politico reports.

"In footage of the debate (at about 9:30) King opens his hand and there are handwritten notes on it. The debate rules said neither candidate was allowed to bring notes."
