GOP lawmaker: America doesn’t need ‘somebody else’s babies’
Wilders understands that culture and demographics are our destiny. Former KKK grand wizard and white supremacist David Duke tweeted several supportive messages about King on Sunday, even suggesting he should run for president in 2024.
Asked by New Day host Chris Cuomo to defend the comments on Monday, King doubled down on his view that “western civilization” must be defended. “What exactly do you mean?”
King has been stirring controversy throughout his political career, particularly in the area of immigration and culture.
The remark was widely criticized, including by members of King’s party and Iowa GOP Chairman Jeff Kaufmann.
And yet, as controversial and inflammatory as King’s comment is, it’s not altogether surprising he made such a statement publicly when you consider some of the Iowa congressman’s previous comments.
King didn’t explicitly refute the assertion, claiming his “somebody else’s babies” comment addressed what he considers a “push to bring much illegal immigration” to America and “the void” that abortion has left in the USA population.
Pressed on whether he believes “a Muslim American, an Italian American, Jewish American, [are] all equal, all the same thing”, King hesitated. “Do I qualify as ‘someone else’s baby?'” tweeted Florida Rep. Carlos Curbelo, the son of two Cuban exiles who fled the country in the 1960s.
“With the exception of Native Americans, we all came to this land from some other place in the world community, and this country is a melting pot of cultures, traditions, appearances, and languages”.
“Our English language is a big part of it”. On Sunday via Twitter, he confirmed this fact-co-signing a bigot with malarkey about keeping America pure by keeping “somebody else’s babies” out-yet again.
After the July killing of five police officers in Dallas guarding protests of police shootings of black people, King accused the shooter to have been inspired by “anti-white/cop events illuminated by Obama”. “This is an effort on the left I think to break down the American civilization and the American culture and turn it into something entirely different”.
There’s no doubt about it: Steve King’s tweet screams white supremacy.
Asked about his comments, King added: “There are civilisations that produce very little… this Western civilisation is a superior civilisation”.
