Noted Racist Steve King: ‘It’s Not About Race’
The Republican congressman from Iowa doesn’t understand why people are offended by white supremacy
... “White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization — how did that language become offensive?”
[...]
King tried to walk back the comments later on Thursday. “Today, the New York Times is suggesting that I am an advocate for white nationalism and white supremacy,” he wrote. “I want to make one thing abundantly clear; I reject those labels and the evil ideology that they define.” He went on to write that he is “simply a Nationalist” and that “it’s not about race.”
