The mysterious case of the bigoted congressman and the combination toilet-water-fountain
It’s “actually pretty good.” Photo: Alex Wroblewski/Getty Images It’s hard to find a better encapsulation of American politics in 2019 than a visit from Steve King — the Iowa congressman who, in January, questioned why white nationalism was offensive — to a migrant detention facility to dispel the idea that requiring detainees to drink from a combination toilet-water fountain is inhumane by drinking some of the toilet-fountain water himself.
“In the back where the lid would be on our toilet, that’s also sealed. And there’s a water fountain there, you push the button, the water comes out and you take a drink, it’s how it is. It’s not drinking out of the toilet, it’s drinking out of the water fountain that’s integral with the back of the toilet.”
