Iowa Congressman Steve King clashed with a student in Des Moines who attempted to link King's ideology to the Pittsburgh synagogue shooter, Robert Bowers. Following reports of King meeting with a far-right group in Austria, major corporate sponsors including Intel and Land O'Lakes announced they would no longer fund his campaign. The hosts analyze the media's focus on King as an attempt to flip a traditionally Republican district.
Robert Bowers is identified as the suspect in the mass shooting at the Tree of Life synagogue in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood of Pittsburgh. Analysis of his social media presence suggests he held extreme anti-Semitic views and believed President Donald Trump was controlled by Jewish interests. The event is contrasted with rhetoric from Louis Farrakhan and discussed in the context of a mass shooting drill conducted at the same location earlier in the year.
