Steve King Explains Why Conyers Won’t Investigate ACORN

Last week the Republican National Lawyers Association sent a letter to House Judiciary Chairman John Conyers demanding an investigation of ACORN. This morning Representative King has given an interview in which he explains why Rep. Conyers won't move forward on ACORN.

Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) accused two Democratic committee chairmen of blocking an investigation into ACORN because of their ties to the organization.

In an interview with Fox News, King took aim at House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.) and Judiciary Constitution subcommittee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), whom he says have questionable connections to the organization.

The conservative lawmaker, who sits on the Judiciary panel, said the liberal Conyers made him write a letter regarding the investigation after Conyers had already received a prior version. King also said Conyers told him he does not know where ACORN's Detroit offices are, even though he spoke at the organization's national convention in June.

"It's been a delay practice on his part," King said. "It's beyond an opinion at this point."

While their colleagues on the left have avoided investigating ACORN the Republicans of the House Judiciary and Oversight and Government Reform Committees will be hosting a forum to better investigate and explore areas of concern relating to ACORN. I'll be there and will bring you an update this evening.
