Days after endorsing Donald Trump and Mike Pence, Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) admitted Hillary Clinton wouldn't be an entirely terrible option for president. Though King, a notoriously conservative Tea Party member, said he and Clinton "don't agree on very much," he said that moments when he's "sat across the table with Hillary Clinton eye-to-eye" have made him confident they could work together despite their partisan differences. "[W]hen you're working outside of staff and outside of the press she is somebody I can work with," said King, who represents what the Des Moines Register describes as Iowa's "most heavily conservative northwest corner."
However, King was quick to clarify his comments about Clinton didn't mean he would vote for her. King is still on the Trump Train.
