Last night, Republican voters in Rep. Steve King’s district decided to punish the congressman’s legacy of white supremacist statements and racist sympathies. Nearly 37,000 primary voters braved a pandemic and nationwide unrest to give challenger Randy Feenstra an almost 8,000-vote win over King. In that heavily Republican district, it’s as good as a ticket to Congress.

King displayed a hand-sized Confederate flag in his office (he’s not even a southerner) and endorsed a neo-Nazi in a mayoral election in Canada. But the straw that broke the camel’s back was the January 2019 interview he gave to the New York Times.
