Iowa Congressman Steve King Promotes White Nationalism In Tweet
King: “We Can't Restore Our Civilization With Somebody Else's Babies.” ABC News reported that “Rep. Steve King -- an Iowa Republican known for his sometimes provocative rhetoric -- drew fire on social media Sunday after tweeting, ‘we can't restore our civilization with somebody else's babies.’ In the post, King appeared to promote Geert Wilders, a right-wing Dutch politician who has vowed to 'de-Islamize' the Netherlands if elected prime minister.”
Wilders understands that culture and demographics are our destiny. We can't restore our civilization with somebody else's babies. https://t.co/4nxLipafWO

White Nationalist Outlets Praise “Hero” King For Speaking The “Truth”

Steve King is basically an open white nationalist at this point.
Today, with a Geert Wilders meme, he tweeted: “Wilders understands that culture and demographics are our destiny. We can’t restore our civilization with somebody else’s babies.”
OUR civilization and SOMEBODY ELSE’S babies.
Not really any nuance there.
He is saying the country is white, it is our country and we shouldn’t be raising other people’s kids.
King famously declared the supremacy of the white race at the RNC in an MSNBC interview. It was awesome.
[...]
When asked to apologize, he doubled down.
Steve King should be Speaker of the House. Period. There (sic) is as plain as the nose on your face*.
He is /ourguy/. [The Daily Stormer, 3/12/17]

It’s time for KING STEVE to take his place below the throne of the GOD EMPEROR [President Donald Trump].
[...]
By the way, we need Steve King memes ASAP.
Make them, spread them.
We already memed a man President, we can meme a man Speaker.
DO IT. [The Daily Stormer, 3/13/17]

What’s un-American is unlimited immigration, multiculturalism and this Jewish agenda that has destroyed the original intent of what America was supposed to be”:
Congressman Steve King is openly endorsing White nationalism for America. In a tweet referencing Geert Wilders, King states the obvious fact that we can’t restore our civilization with babies from foreign countries.
[...]
He’s 100 percent right. Race, demographics and culture are all linked. Western civilization will be destroyed if these third world populations are allowed to continue migrating into our lands.
People are already crying about his tweet.
The closet faggot Evan McMullin called King’s statement un-American.
[...]
Whites built America Evan so there is nothing un-American about what King said. What’s un-American is unlimited immigration, multiculturalism and this Jewish agenda that has destroyed the original intent of what America was supposed to be. [Infostormer, 3/12/17]
