Steve King is enthusiastically racist. This is the same guy who has repeatedly retweeted white nationalist propaganda from straight-up neo-Nazi websites like Stormfront and Vdare. Because he liked what they said. And how did he know what they were saying? Because Steve King reads those sites. King has been like this for a very long time.

The GOP Is America’s Party of White Nationalism

The Republican party's racists were once pushed to the fringes. In the Trump era, they're in charge.

The list of King’s asinine, bigoted, and offensive words and acts is too long to recount. But here’s the thing. It’s not really possible anymore to dismiss him “as a fringe player in legitimate policy debates,” as the New York Times notes that many Republicans would like to do. That may have been true at one time, in the days when the Republican Party was defined by Reagan. But those days are long past. Today it’s Donald Trump’s party, and there is not much breathing room between King and Trump when it comes to white nationalism. Indeed, after initially supporting Ted Cruz in last year’s primaries, King has become an avid Trump supporter.

King’s unspoken assumption is that Western civilization is directly or indirectly responsible for the modern world: science, technology, democracy, and capitalism to name a few. In other words, without the white West, human beings would still be living in caves. Rather than understanding the growing racial, ethnic, and culture diversity of the United States as a core strength, King and others like him view racial diversity and dare I say racial hybridity as a weakness that is corroding white America and the West more generally.

Congressman Steve King Is Not an Outlier

Rep. King’s statement is bigoted and racist.  It suggests there is one cultural tradition and one appearance that all of humanity should conform to.  These ideas have given rise to some of the worst atrocities in human history, and they must be condemned.

A Short History of Congressman Steve King Saying Racist Shit

From calling Barack Obama "very, very urban" to talking about undocumented immigrants with "calves the size of cantaloupes."

This is not the first time King has trafficked in white supremacy. His portfolio of bigotry and racism includes claims that white people have “contributed more to civilization” and that others constitute some type of racial “subgroup.” Not surprisingly, he has also defended the American swastika, that is the Confederate battle flag.
