Skepchick - Rep. Steve King: Proud White Supremacist
Melanie Mallon explains why we should all be appalled by Congressman Steve King’s latest tweet!
On Sunday, US Congressman Steve King (R-IA) retweeted the anti-immigrant fake news account Voice of Europe, adding his own white supremacist take on the original tweet:
@SteveKingIA: “Wilders understands that culture and demographics are our destiny. We can’t restore our civilization with somebody else’s babies.”
@V_of_Europe: “Hundreds of Islamists shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. Wilders is right for over 10 years. #turkijerel”
Wilders refers to Geert Wilders, a far-right anti-immigrant Dutch politician running for prime minister in the Netherlands, an election to be held on March 15. He’s basically what you’d get if Draco Malfoy starred in Zoolander.
