Yesterday, when Rep. Steve King (R-IN) spoke to Tea Partiers gathered outside the Capitol, he suggested it might be necessary for his state to secede, or for the Tea Partiers to form their own country:
KING: I just came down here so I could say to you, God bless you. … You are the awesome American people. [...]
If I could start a country with a bunch of people, they’d be the folks who were standing with us the last few days. Let’s hope we don’t have to do that! Let’s beat that other side to a pulp! Let’s take them out. Let’s chase them down. There’s going to be a reckoning!
Not only that but his language in general suggests violence in response to passage of the bill…by duly elected representatives no less. I thought these guys were all for the Constitution.
