Steve King approved a white nationalist political candidate

Congressman Steve King – who has never hesitated to say some of the most racist bullshit you've ever heard from a congressman sitting in Congress – really decided to double his White supremacist discussions prior to his November re-election bid.

First, he supported White Nationalist Faith Goldy's campaign at Toronto City Hall. And Goldy is not just your typical dog whistling away. She recited a famous slogan of white supremacy on a podcast, she gave an interview to the Daily Stormer and she attended the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. And apparently, King is in:

then HuffPost discovered an interview granted by King to an Austrian publication of the far right in September. And my boy, it was full of horror. Using the murder of Mollie Tibbbett – against the express wishes of her family – to convey her anti-immigrant convictions, to double her words "the babies of someone from one another"To recite the myth of" Prohibited Zones filled with immigrants all over Europe ", King was playing racist bingo and he was playing to win.

HuffPost Roger Griffin, an expert in fascism, consulted the journalist who said that King and his interlocutor showed a great command of the jargon of white supremacy:

King would never have opened the door for mainstream journalists because they would not understand what he was talking about, Griffin said. He added: "But with [Caroline Sommerfeld]who is obviously immersed in these things, he opens up just because he knows he will be understood. "

King's conversation with Sommerfeld revolves around the paranoid idea of ​​the Great Replacement – the belief that mass migration, particularly from Muslim-majority countries, is an event at the level of the extinction of culture and white European identity. Or, as he said in the interview, a "slowdown in cultural suicide".

King is not just a congressman filled with horrifying racist thoughts and opinions. He is also a bad politician, who does not make a change on behalf of his constituents. It seems that for King, it is well "the global white nationalism first, the 4th Congress District of Iowa next". As the monks' register says:

In nearly 16 years in Congress, King has passed exactly one bill as the main sponsor, redesigning a post office. He will not argue with his opponent and rarely holds public meetings. Instead, he spends his time meeting fascist leaders in Europe and retweeting neo-Nazis.

Fortunately, the future Democrat J.D. Scholten raises King 4-1 and narrows the voting gap between them. Scholten, whose campaign was supported by Senator Bernie Sanders, is still fighting a difficult battle in a district where nearly 40% of voters are registered Republicans and only a quarter of Democrats. But Scholten's donations and sponsorships are piling up and, who knows, maybe in January, Steve King will find himself with much more time to face the white crowd.
