Iowa Republican Congressperson Steve King is an ignorant insult to all humanity.

The Hill reports:

Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) is questioning how terms such as "white nationalist" and "white supremacist" became offensive in the U.S.

"White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization - how did that language become offensive?" King asked in an interview with The New York Times published on Thursday. "Why did I sit in classes teaching me about the merits of our history and our civilization?"

The comments came as part of an expansive report from the newspaper on King's hard-line views on immigration and how they mirror much of what President Trump has pushed for during his presidency.
