Clearly, Rep. Steve King has been spending too much time with Louie Gohmert:
“I don’t know if I’m paid or not,” he said. “I haven’t looked. I have not. And I get questions I’ve never thought about. I never thought about my own insurance. I never thought about my own pay. I’m thinking about what’s right for America.”
Steve King has figured out a new way around questions from the "liberal media" about whether or not you're taking your paycheck during the government shutdown: pretending not to know whether or not you're getting paid.
This statement is so incredibly stupid, I cannot even come up with a good joke.
