Representative King is one of 151 House Members who are
furious with the recent antics of Speaker Boehner.
While there was much that was good,
in the approved “fiscal cliff” bill,
half of the 4 trillion dollars in additional spending will go to new programs . . . . . none of it will go to deficit reduction.
King is calling for a moratorium on donations to the
GOP. Here are his comments.
King: “They’re in New York
all the time filling their pockets with money from New Yorkers. I’m saying right now, anyone from New York and
New Jersey who contributes one penny to Congressional Republicans is out of
their mind. Because what they did last night was put a knife in
the back of New Yorkers and New Jerseyians. It was an absolute disgrace… And
why Republicans have this bias against New York, this bias against New Jersey,
this bias against the Northeast. They’re
wondering why they’re becoming a minority party? Why they’re
going to be a party of the permanent minority? What they did last night was so
immoral, so disgraceful, so irresponsible. They’re supposed to be the party of
family values? Yet families are starving, are suffering… I’ve had it. As far as I am concerned I’m on my
own. They’re going to go a long way to get my vote on anything.“
