Rep. Steve King is not apologizing
for saying that President Barack Obama “favors the black person,” telling POLITICO Tuesday that his comments were not presented in their full context.

Asked in a phone interview if he regrets what he said during a recent appearance on G. Gordon Liddy’s radio show, the Iowa Republican said: “Not in any way.”

King said his comments where first highlighted by Media Matters, which he said intentionally clipped his comments to remove context.

“The president has demonstrated that he has a default mechanism in him that breaks down the side of race – on the side that favors the black person,” media Matrers project PoliticalCorrection.org quoted King as saying.

King said he wasn’t quoted fully, noting that immediately after he said Obama “favors the black person” he continued to say “in the case of Professor Gates and Officer Crowley. That was a case where he knew nothing about it, threw himself into it, and concluded that the cop had operated on a race bias or a racist basis and then he ended up having to have a beer summit because of that.”
