Congressman Steve King, Iowa’s most infamous white supremacist and noted pendejo, has been so racist that even his once-loyal donors are abandoning him, leaving his campaign close to broke with only $18,000 cash on hand. Steve decided to speed that up during a town hall this week, where the racism levels exceeded even his own usual standards.
In one instance, Steve defended the reported forced-feeding of pork to Muslims in China, saying “that’s actually the only part of that that I agree with is, everybody ought to eat pork. If you have a shortage of bacon, you can’t be happy.” Huffington Post reported that “Muslims in China … have been rounded up and detained by the government in a crackdown on the nation’s ethnic Uighur minority and other Islamic groups, according to the United Nations.”
But Steve wasn’t close to done, then launching into a white supremacist trope about white people becoming a minority in his district due to immigrants, estimating it could happen in six months, he claimed. "I did the math on this. How long will it take before an entire congressional district is supplanted by illegal aliens?" Steve backed up his claim with a “study” from the Federation for American Immigration Reform, a serious-sounding organization that’s actually an anti-immigrant hate group.
FAIR was founded by eugenicist John Tanton, who “expressed his wish that America remain a majority-white population,” once asking that “as Whites see their power and control over their lives declining, will they simply go quietly into the night? Or will there be an explosion?" Steve has clearly wanted the latter, endorsing neo-Nazi sympathizers for office and keeping the traitorous confederate flag on his desk despite Iowa being a Union state during the Civil War.
Immigrants and their labor have actually helped keep Steve’s district alive, and he knows it. That has not stopped him from working against his district by blocking efforts to help Iowa’s immigrants stay. Republicans have never had a problem giving him anti-immigrant floor votes and committee assignments, but are only now disowning him because he’s become a liability. At least his racism is helping him go broke. Next, let’s get him the fuck out of Congress.
Let’s strengthen our majority in the House and give Steve King the boot. Please give $1 to help Democrats in each of these House races!
