Rep. Cleaver: Steve King and I Still Joke as if Nothing Happened

EXCERPT:

CLEAVER: “We get along fine. And I think he’ll tell you that we still joke. It’s as if nothing happened. And I’m very aware of all the issues and I know that sometimes I never heard any of it, but I know sometimes Steve gets beat up for the way he says things. You know, I have two friends who were put in time-out in the Republican conference: Walter Jones, who I would fight for, I’ll fight somebody in the middle of —  I would fight a Democrat or a Republican or Oakland Raiders — Pittsburgh. And then Steve got put out. Walter didn’t have a committee assignment either — for a different reason. But I just think, you know, Steve is a good guy, as far as I know. You know, I think — as I said to him, you know, once before in his office. I said, ‘Watch what you say, be careful.' Because a lot of people walk around with us and they’re trying to find something all the time.”
