Rep. Steve King is threatening to throw the House of Representatives into a crisis if the GOP leadership decides to bring immigration reform legislation up for a vote. Appearing on “The Capitol Hill Show with Tim Constantine” yesterday, the Iowa Republican warned that the “rule of law people” will do whatever it takes to prevent any vote on immigration.
“If it happens, this place will blow up,” he said. “If they try to bring some kind of amnesty or a provision that convinces close to a majority of Republicans that it is a sleight of hand amnesty, this place will blow up and there will be a crisis like we have not seen in years in the House of Representatives.”
He also criticized Speaker Boehner: “He keeps taking a shovel and digging himself into a hole a little bit deeper.”
