Stand Up for Down There
Love is in the air – but now something smells fishy. In an interview last week, Iowa Rep. Steve King was asked about Todd Akin’s infamous (read: disgusting) “legitimate rape” comment, and skirted the issue by saying he’s sticking by his “friend.” Rep. King, we respect a good bromance, but maybe when your “bro” insults rape survivors, you should make an exception.
