The Daily Show - Is Rep. Steve King Racist? Enter Trevor Noah: Racism Detective



Congressman Steve King goes from supporting white supremacy to calling it an evil ideology, putting into question his standing as a certified racist. Sounds like a case for Trevor Noah: Racism Detective.

the cotton gin just to name a few and he would know this if he even bothered to question what he's said but pure prejudice makes him accept assumptions over facts just like all racists who try to justify their racism.

I love Trevor! That was only a sampling of the horror of Steve King. What is truly frightening is the fact that there are so many people who voted for someone like him.

And how anyone can excuse bigotry in this day and age, let alone vote for an obvious bigot, is totally beyond me! When is this going to be behind us?? I watched a documentary on LBJ and the Voting Rights Act not long ago and I got depressed. They worked so hard and it took so much, how is it that that it's coming up again now??
