1. King is the leading defender of dog-fighting and animal torture in the United States.King recently suggested "there was something wrong" with the priorities of people who wanted to criminalize dogfighting while boxing was legal. When challenged on that assertion, King went on abizarre diatribe about how the kidnapping, rape, and forced abortion of an underage girl wouldn't be illegal under current law. King's prodogfighting statements are consistent with a long legislative record of defending the inhumane practice as well as his recent sponsorship of legislation that would enable the torture of animals on farms while critically weakening food safety standards.
2. King compares immigrants to dogs, proposes keeping them out with electrified fence.Describing immigrants as birddogs, King said that we should only take "frisker" people, "not the one that's over there sleeping on the corner." This makes his remedy for illegal immigration, an electric fence, unsurprising, which he justified by saying "we do this with livestock all the time." He also thinks that multicultural groups are about self-pity and that immigrants who "love taxes" aren't real Americans.
3. King believes states can ban birth control and that contraception may destroy America.King, who adheres to a revisionist interpretation of the 10th Amendment, disagrees with well-established Supreme Court precedent guaranteeing a woman's right to control her own body. This may be because King thinks that access to birth control may "let our birth rate get down below replacement rate we're a dying civilization. Hypocritically, King has proposed that it is unconstitutional for states to ban foie gras. King, like Todd Akin, has "never heard of" a rape-induced pregnancy.
