Republican strategist Ana Navarro had harsh words for controversial Iowa congressman Steve King on Sunday, telling the GOP lawmaker to “get some therapy for his melon fixation.”

King made headlines last month when he said of the children known as DREAMers — kids brought to the United States illegally – that, “For every one who’s a valedictorian, there’s another 100 out there that — they weigh 130 pounds and they’ve got calves the size of cantaloupes because they’re hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert.”

Navarro continued her assault, arguing that King is “a mediocre congressman with no legislative record” and ”the only time he makes national press is when he comes out and says something offensive about the undocumented or Hispanics.”

King returned the hostility, telling NBC’s David Gregory that his remarks applied only to drug smugglers, not to Hispanics at large. ”If Ana understands the language, she should know that.” Navarro, who is Hispanic and served as the national Hispanic co-chair of the McCain campaign in 2008 and of Jon Huntsman’s campaign in 2012, retorted, “I’m not undocumented. I vote, congressman.”
