Steve King's Government Website Still Links To White Nationalist Blog..............

Earlier this month the racist Iowa congressman claimed to reject the “evil ideology” of white supremacy.

Weeks after claiming to denounce racism and bigotry, Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) is still using his official government website to direct his constituents to a white nationalist blog that regularly publishes the work of vile racists, anti-Semites, and Nazi sympathizers, HuffPost has found.

The top of King’s house.gov website currently features a YouTube video of King, in a Jan. 15 speech on the floor of the House of Representatives, claiming to reject the “evil ideology” of white supremacy. “That ideology never shows up in my head,” he tells his congressional colleagues, who were voting on a resolution condemning racist comments King made this month to The New York Times.

Yet just beneath King’s YouTube video is a link to “Illegal Immigrant Stories,” a section of King’s website he’s devoted to cherry-picked news articles falsely portraying Latinos as prone to committing crimes. Many of the news clips King cites are from disreputable far-right propaganda outlets like Breitbart, The Daily Caller, WorldNetDaily, and The Gateway Pundit. One of the news clips King uses is from the patently white nationalist website VDare.com.

VDare is a hate site named after Virginia Dare, said to be the first white baby born in the “New World.” It has routinely featured the writing of eugenicists, anti-Semites and Nazi sympathizers, including prominent white supremacists Richard Spencer, Kevin MacDonald, Sam Francis and Jared Taylor.

Steve King is still serving in the House. Should this man NOT be ousted already? Where is Kevin McCarthy on this?

fucking peep about his racist - white supremacist bullshit. There was one big ole dopey log that got up and agreed and had a tirade against the immigrants. Boy was she a peach.

Another guy said hey we need workers out here ...and stupid Steve said well until the border is secure blah blah blah.

It was awful. King got off scott free with his constituents....why would he need to change anything?
