Rep. Steve King (R-IA) has once again given us a glimpse into the bizarre fantasy land that is his mind and his irrational thinking. At a Breitbart National Security Action Summit in March, he compared NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden to notorious serial killer?Jeffrey Dahmer. King’s opinion is that?Snowden is a far worse person that Jeffrey Dahmer ever thought about being. As a reminder, Dahmer raped and murdered 17 people over the course of a decade. After murdering his victims, he ate them.
From the video:
“I think that Snowden has done more damage to America than anybody I can think of in history. It was not an altruistic move that I can see and speculate, but I will tell you this that I have learned in my time in public life. Whatever his rationalization was, I have learned that human beings have an infinite capacity to self-rationalize. Whatever they decide to do, they can figure out how to tell you that it’s true and right and just.”
And in conclusion, the whammy:
“I would take it so far as to say that probably Jeffrey Dahmer analyzed in a similar way. He didn’t do nearly as much damage as Snowden did.”
