“…King noted that his position was not about race but, rather, “our stock, our country, our culture, our civilization,” and that “we need to have enough babies to replace ourselves.” Yes, because there is a crazy baby shortage going on in America that has him deeply concerned that the human race will become extinct.

Oh, that’s right, there is no baby shortage! Babies are fine. America has never had a problem procreating.”

King, taking the position that Americans are livestock.

The way I read this comment, it sounds more like Rep. King is using “stock” in its old-fashioned (as in 19th-Century-eugenics-type Old-fashioned) usage: basically code for “white folks just like us” -i.e. “English-speaking white Protestants of [accepted-varieties-of] European descent”

The next rhetorical step is “purebred” vs. “mongrel”, which just MAY be a trope too far even for Steve King, but it’s an election year, who knows?
