GOP Rep. Steve King (Iowa) on Saturday defended his association with a Nazi-linked group in Austria, telling The Washington Post that the group is “far right.”

He made the comments about Austria’s Freedom Party, a group founded by a former Nazi SS officer and whose current leader as active in neo-Nazi circles, according to the paper.

“If they were in America pushing the platform that they push, they would be Republicans,” King, who is known for his inflammatory statements about immigration, told The Post.

King made comments lamenting the “decline” of Western civilization due to immigration in an August interview with Austria’s Freedom Party, according to The Post, asking them: “What does this diversity bring that we don’t already have?”

1. He's absolutely right. The Republican Party is also the Nazi Party.

[dalton99a]

12. It really is.

4. Steve should just wear his brownshirt every time he appears in public.

5. I agree with Steve King...

...European Nazi's would be Republicans in America.

Wow. He said that. Sometimes Republican office holders accidently tell the truth.

[no_hypocrisy]

6. Steve King speaks Truth to Power!

[The Liberal Lion]

7. Finally, A republican who is telling the truth

So we progressives and liberals who were doubtful and said people like me were being hyperbolic when calling the GOP the American Nazi party now have conclusive evidence without a doubt that people like me were only telling the truth. trump calls himself a "nationalist" and King says clearly that nazis and US republicans are one in the same. Can we finally now stop "giving it a chance", get off of our knees, place some steel in our backs and ready ourselves for what is sure to come, nay what is already here. It's NOT going to be ok, things are NOT just going to work themselves out, we are NOT just one election away from relief. We ARE engaged in a struggle, not to save the republic, for our republic is dead, but rather to determine how the future of humanity shall proceed. The choice is yours: bow and submit or stand and fight. There will be much suffering regardless of the path. You will either suffer under the burden of evil and your conscience, or you will suffer in pursuit of justice and right.

14. States get reputations. King does not help Iowa's.

15. GOP Rep. Steve King (Iowa) implies that, were he in Europe, he would be a nazi

A nazi by any name is a regressive individual on a downward karmic path, demonstrated by that one's present presentation.
Thoughts, words, actions of harm, of disturbance in the force, are opposite of ahimsa

Ahimsa is usually thought to mean non-violence (think Ghandi, MLK).
Ahimsa, however, is actually the Vedic 1st commandment to cause NO disturbance.
A very hard path.

Actions of harm, of arm and weapon, obviously disturb.
Words too are action, words can do harm.
Thinking is not action, however the disturbing face that others see does act; meanness shows (anger, lust, covetousness, threat).

The almost-universal face that humans worldwide wear, is a face reflecting some level of fear, some existential angst.

Trumps fear, (the fear of separation from mother, family, the totality) reflects perfectly the downward path person.
No amount of money, fame, power or name can erase his pain. Inflicting pain becomes the primary purpose.

One can accept or reject the karmic model.
No one can deny the downward embodied path of Trumps wrapper; the body-mind-sense-complex is in decline.
Absent an ethical compass, he treats all as commerce. Such a stingy soul.
