The Republican, who has been accused of racism, was dining with a group of people when the incident took place.
King, who has recently come under fire for his controversial comments on Hurricane Katrina survivors, was dining with a group of people at the Mineral City Mill and Grill on Friday when a man is alleged to have approached the table and thrown a drink at the Republican, the Des Moines Register reported.
“Here's what FEMA tells me. We go to a place like New Orleans, and everybody's looking around saying, 'Who's going to help me? Who's going to help me?'" King said during a townhall meeting in Iowa on Thursday, CNN reported. “His comments about Katrina victims are absurd and offensive,” House Minority Whip Steve Scalise told The Advocate, describing them as “a complete contradiction to the strength and resilience the people of New Orleans demonstrated to the entire nation in the wake of the total devastation they experienced.”
