Steve King (R Iowa) let's true feelings be known

“White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization — how did that language become offensive?” he said. “Why did I sit in classes teaching me about the merits of our history and our civilization?”

He later goes on to say he's a nationalist and race doesn't matter. For what that's worth.

So believing in the Founding Fathers and the Constitution is racist.

Chinteresting.

But you already knew that.

No. But his comment is very short sighted.

And without going off on a rant, let's start a pool for when the following historical figures will be banished for actions that happened 250 years ago without the benefit of context of society at the time.

George Washington -slave owner - I give him 3 years
Thomas Jefferson - slave owner, adulterer - he's probably safe for 5 since the whole judgy/sex is ok. Hypocrisy is a progressive's favorite play. The JonathanSmithFS bubble screen of ideologues.
Andrew Jackson - sent the Indians to Okie, racist - surprised he's even still listed in Wikipedia as a POTUS.
Paul Revere - animal abuser - rode the horse to exhaustion to fan the war-mongering racist/bigots against the Motherland. Maybe PETA will run a nude pic campaign again on this one. 4 years.

Defending the terms “white Nationalist” and “white supremacy” are beyond the pale, especially knowing the context in which those terms are used today.

Defending Western Civilization and recognizing it superiority over every other Civilization is just rational thought

The Throbber (aside from the obvious piece of anatomy) is white.

The Throbber believes in the best interest of the United States and it's sovereignty. Therefore, nationalist instead of a globalist.

FUCK.

THE THROBBER IS A WHITE NATIONALIST!!!!

See how easy that was?

And so concludes Leftist Playbook 101.

Tomorrow, moral equivalence.

There will be no math involved.

You’re the guy that only reads headlines and can’t comprehend those 81% of the time.

Sit this one out.

"nothing to see here".

You do realize that Republicans in Congress are denouncing what he said, right? But you don't care, thou shall not speak bad about Rs.

If the opponent can't stop the off-tackle run, you keep pounding the rock.

HTH

btw, I actually even read the statement the good Congressman wrote to clarify.

It's really sad he has to waste time responding to this crap instead of, you know, representing his constituency.

King's pretty clearly an idiot, at best.

I'm all for pressing the brakes on labeling everyone a racist but there's no defense of "white supremacist". That's either a colossal fuckup, or more likely given his track record, a Freudian slip.

I think the r word fits King just fine.

The house minority leader disagrees with you. I didn't realize you were such an R dicksucker.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) on Sunday said “action will be taken” against Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) over his recent comments to The New York Times questioning why terms such as “white supremacist” and “white nationalist” are considered offensive.

McCarthy said on CBS’ “Face The Nation” that he will meet with King on Monday to discuss the veteran lawmaker’s future in the Republican Party.

″That language has no place in America,” McCarthy said on the program. “That is not the America that I know. And it’s most definitely not the party of Lincoln.”

He continued, “Action will be taken. I’m having a serious conversation with Congressman Steve King on his future and role in this Republican Party.”

He is a little too comfortable playing footsie with some despicable characters. No one should be trying to defend white supremacy.
