Iowa Republican Steve King slams Hurricane Katrina disaster victims

Washington Republican Rep. Steve King, who has a lengthy history of incendiary comments related to race, favorably compared the response of his Iowan constituents, who are majority white, to recent severe flooding to the residents of New Orleans when Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005, who were majority black.

Speaking at a town hall in his district Thursday, King suggested that Hurricane Katrina disaster victims were asking for government assistance after the deadly storm hit, pushing a racial stereotype. "Here's what FEMA tells me. We go to a place like New Orleans, and everybody's looking around saying, 'Who's going to help me? Who's going to help me?'" King said, adding that he made four trips to New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina.

— John Bel Edwards March 21, 2019 Rep. Cedric Richmond, a Democrat whose district includes New Orleans, said,"My heart goes out to all Iowans. Though it unsettles me that would dare compare them to the countless victims of Katrina, many of whom lost their lives." "When people show you who they are, believe them. Steve King is a white supremacist and I won't stand for it," Richmond said on Twitter.My heart goes out to all Iowans.

— Rep Cedric Richmond March 22, 2019 King recently came under scrutiny for sharing a Facebook post over the weekend that boasts red states would"win" a fight against blue states — and that they have"8 trillion bullets." He later removed the post.In January, the Iowa Republican was stripped of his committee assignments following remarks he made to the New York Times that were sympathetic to white supremacy, though King said his comments were taken out of context.
