> [@Knorf](#): > > What can you expect from an atheist, Muslim, Marxist, Nazi, pawn of the UN, dictator pussy? In yet another another example of it being impossible to parody today’s Republicans, here’s a [tweet](https://twitter.com/SteveKingIA/statuses/479398307832160256) from congressman Steve King: > [@](#): > > Obama raids Redskins by weaponizing USPTO. Cancels Redskins logo! Free people will not tolerate a Kim Jong POTUS. One of the tweets in response seems amusingly naive: > [@](#): > > @SteveKingIA Did your account get hacked? Cuz that was idiotic. Yes, hackers are obviously the most plausible explanation for patent idiocy appearing on Steve King’s Twitter account. ---

That reply doesn’t sound naive, but just a way to say, “goddamn, that was idiotic.” ---
