And long before Mr. Trump demonized immigrants — accusing Mexico of exporting criminals and calling for an end to birthright citizenship — Mr. King turned those views into talking points, with his use of misleading data about victims of undocumented immigrants and demeaning remarks about Latinos.
The lede: Throughout his congressional career, Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) has made headlines for his comments on white supremacy.
After Esquire’s Charlie Pierce highlighted a lack of diversity at the 2016 Republican National Convention, King questioned whether people of color had made significant contributions to society. “This ‘old white people' business does get a little tired, Charlie,” he said. “I’d ask you to go back through history and figure out, where are these contributions that have been made by these other categories of people that you’re talking about, where did any other subgroup of people contribute more to civilization?”
