What did Republican Congressman Steve King mean by saying this?

As an American woman who has been assaulted, I can tell you Muslims aren't the problem in America. I suspect that many European women have been assaulted by their fellow European men. Of course, that doesn't fit the bigoted narrative you want to tell.

If you want to embrace the most barbaric and violent people on earth- have at it. I'll respond no further to your comments.

Interesting. You seem to have a history of objecting to interracial marriage in political threads. OK, you've got me curious, what's behind that? Could it be...

(a) You're a closet white-supremacist (believing that marrying a non-white is inferior)?

(b) You're a closet racist (believing everyone should "marry their own")?

(c) You're a frustrated male (jealous of men with hotter women than you have)?

(d) Some other reason?

Please share.

It would seem some Iowans do believe there are a lot of bigots in the state.


Per NBC News:

"King could use N-word daily, still get reelected here" was the headline gracing a column written last July by Douglas Burns of the Daily Times Herald newspaper in Carroll County.



"I stand by that," Burns told NBC News on Wednesday. "I think that says as much and more about us as it says about him."



Chuck Offenburger, a former Republican activist and blogger and longtime King critic, agreed.


"I'm afraid he's a racist," he said. "My feeling on it is when someone in his position makes one statement that appears to be racist, maybe you can look into his background and try to understand and maybe even forgive him. But we're going on 16 years and he's just gotten more and more inflammatory."
