Never one to bring subtlety to a debate, Republican Rep. Steve King took to Twitter Wednesday evening to weigh in on the debate surrounding the name of the Washington Redskins.
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office Wednesday morning canceled six U.S. trademark registrations for the D.C.-based NFL team, calling the name “disparaging to Native Americans,” which prompted this response from the Iowa Republican:
Obama raids Redskins by weaponizing USPTO. Cancels Redskins logo! Free people will not tolerate a Kim Jong POTUS.

Predictably, the Twitterverse was quick to respond:
@SteveKingIA Your tears taste sweet. Cc @daveweigel

@a_girl_irl What part of Section 2(a) of the Trademark Act of 1946 is dictatorial, @SteveKingIA? Or is any bill written 70+ yrs ago bad?

I'd like to thank @SteveKingIA for providing us with this fine example of authentic frontier gibberish #tcot #uniteblue

@SteveKingIA @daveweigel Don't you have better things to do. Like, for instance, your job? #WhereAreTheJobs
