Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) tweeted on Tuesday night President Barack Obama has invited a "deportable" person to sit with his wife during the State of the Union address.
King was making an apparent reference to Ana Zamora, an immigration advocate and illegal immigrant who will sit with Michelle Obama during Obama's speech.
#Obama perverts "prosecutorial discretion" by inviting a deportable to sit in place of honor at #SOTU w/1st Lady. I should sit with Alito.

Several reporters asked King about his tweet, prompting King to cite a Taylor Swift song:
Don’t think that’s how Taylor intended it MT @LukeRussert: Asked Steve King about "deportable" comment he told me to "shake it off"
