KING SPEAKS ON DEBATE TACTICS

SOME OBSERVERS OF IOWA'S 4TH DISTRICT CONGRESSIONAL RACE SAY THEY'VE BEEN SUPRISED THAT REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN STEVE KING HASN'T BEEN MORE IN ATTACK MODE IN DEBATES BETWEEN HIM AND DEMOCRATIC CHALLENGER CHRISTIE VILSACK.

KING SAYS HE DOESN'T WANT TO USE THE LIMITED TIME IN DEBATES TO DEFEND HIMSELF AGAINST WHAT HE CALLS "BASELESS ACCUSATIONS":



KING CITED ACCUSATIONS OF DRIVING A LUXURY S-U-V AROUND THE DISTRICT AND FAILURE TO BALANCE THE BUDGET AS EXAMPLES. HE MADE HIS COMMENTS ON KSCJ'S OPEN LINE.
