Why are stupid people like Steve King on television time and again while intelligent people so rarely make an appearance? In the latest of the many, many stupid things he has said on national television, King recently claimed that the fact that Republicans stole the Florida election from Gore in 2000 (no fraudulent votes, just deceptive ballots and a refusal to count) is proof that the Democrats will be stealing the 2016 election through massive fraudulent voting:
Rep. King replied, “Partially unsubstantiated — I would agree with that. But I would look back at the 2000 election and the fiasco in Florida and the 537 votes that decided the presidency and say that if Al Gore had not accepted the decision of the Supreme Court, we would have had discredited elections in this country back then…”
It wasn’t voter fraud that disrupted the 2000 election in Florida but corruption in the state of Florida’s Republican party, led by Katherine Harris, that obstructed every effort to get an accurate count and then a bogus ruling by the Supreme court.

If Chris Murphy or Joe Courtney have been on television for one minute for each hour King has spewed stupid, I’d be shocked.
