Iowa Republican congressman Steve King, who is accused by critics of sympathizing with white supremacists, calls constituent’s probing question “so hypothetical.”
Embattled Iowa Representative Steve King, who has been accused of racism, fumbled his answer to a constituent's simple question on the superiority or otherwise of white societies.
“I don’t have an answer for that. That’s so hypothetical,” King replied, the Times reported. “I’ll say this, America is not a white society. It has never been a completely white society. We came here and joined the Native Americans.” Tarrant released a manifesto to coincide with the massacre in which he rants about a supposed invasion by immigrants into majority-white western societies.
The Republican also told the same publication of the “Great Replacement” theory: “They are somebody else's babies. They have been already raised in the culture of another country...I have said that diversity is not a strength. The Left just repeats it again and again, but it is mindless.
Following a January interview with The New York Times, the Republican Party removed King from his committee assignments after his comments about white supremacy sparked outrage.
