    King Kong Krazy: One Congressman's Descent Into Ideological Madness

    About this ebook

    Douglas Burns has reported on Iowa politics for a variety of Iowa news organizations and publications for more than 20 years. In that time, he has written dozens of columns and news stories on Iowa’s now infamous U.S. Representative Steve King.

    King Kong Krazy is a collection of those columns and stories, one which reveals the increasingly deranged nature of King’s beliefs and rhetoric while also contextualizing the (mostly) rural Iowa district which repeatedly sends King to represent it in the U.S. Congress.

    Taken as a whole, this collection of material paints a fuller picture of one of the more divisive figures in modern politics as well as revealing Burns to be, at times, a prescient “canary in a cornfield” with regard to the rural and rust-belt resentment that brought Steve King-like rhetoric and policy to our national politics and, ultimately, to the White House.
