In Debate, A Defensive Steve King Shocks Audience

http://samuel-warde.com/2014/10/debate-defensive-steve-king-shocks-audience/
"Mowrer first called King out for “fear mongering” about Ebola, and then called for a “calm, deliberate” approach to dealing with the disease, dictated by the best advice of medical and transportation experts, not xenophobic knee jerk reactions. He then pointed out that King’s role in the Tea Party led government shutdown and the resulting sequester had cut funding to the NIH & CDC dramatically, causing possibly life saving experiments to be abandoned, and undercutting our nation’s preparedness to deal with a crisis like Ebola. And that’s when the train came off the tracks for King.
Visibly shaken, King angrily denied blame for the shut down, insisting that it was President Obama who shut down the government – drawing shocked gasps and groans of the audience in reaction to the blatant falsehood."
