Iowa Republican goes white supremacist at convention

Congressman often wrapped in controversy

A Republican congressman from northwest Iowa has created a bit of an uproar over his comments on the divide between Europeans and America and everywhere else.

Steve King was on an MSNBC program at the Republican convention Monday night when he said he was tired of comments regarding old white people.

King has made headlines with charged comments in the past, including recently, when he suggested that the marijuana smugglers coming from Mexico outnumbered the positive contributors by 100 to 1. 

King has also recommended running electrified wire between Mexico and the U.S., suggesting the use because “that’s what we do with livestock all the time.”

He’s also hit the stirred controversy with a confederate flag on his desk and degrading comments about Mexican immigrants, among others.
