Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds is offering some blunt advice to a fellow Republican.

Reynolds says she has not talked with King since the election, but she is suggesting King’s political career is at a crossroads due to a number of controversial comments he has made.

King won reelection to a ninth term in the U.S. House last week, by just a two percent margin. Reynolds won the fourth congressional district with a 20 percent margin.

A spokesman for King says the Congressman loves Governor Reynolds. Congressman King’s communications director John Kennedy says King is “thankful to her for signing his Heartbeat Bill into law and notes that they are birds of a feather because they won by similar margins.”
