Jewish leaders in Iowa tear into King's 'white supremacist views'
The Hill ^ | 10/30/18 | Chris Mills Rodrigo

Jewish leaders from Iowa wrote a letter for the Des Moines Register Tuesday condemning Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) for white supremacist views.

Alan Steckman, president of Adas Israel in Mason City and John Pleasants, president of Ames Jewish Congregation, explained that they felt the need to respond in the wake of Saturday's shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh.

The two criticized King for using "funds from a Holocaust education organization to meet with a notoriously anti-Semitic propaganda site" as "shocking beyond any previous outrage."

They said that King's promotion of white supremacist ideology had previously gone unchallenged by many, and that that silence can "foster a climate that enables the kind of hateful violence that erupted three times in the last week."

"We call on all elected officials to stand with Iowa's Jewish community, denounce King's actions, and hold him accountable."

King has several contributors stop supporting him in the wake of recent comments, including Land O'Lakes, Intel and Purina.

A poll released Tuesday showed King with just a 1-point lead in the race over Democract JD Scholten.

The Cook Political Report also moved the race from "likely Republican" to "lean Republican," indicating the nonpartisan handicapper believes the race is tightening.

A less controversial word for nationalist is “patriot”. Trump is a patriot.

Jews who defend terrorists and thugs ought to convert to Islam. And non-Jews who do the same ought to visit Syria while wearing a cross and see what being friendly gets you.

My nationalism is rooted in our amazing Constitution and in the unparalled progress with which this country of my birth has endowed mankind.
The historical abomination you warned of is anathema to both, and I’ve no confusion in that regard whatsoever.
The same cannot be said about the seditious anti-American Left, which is embracing with relish the evils of totalitarianism.

Thank you and King is the victim of hate speech. He is NOT a white supremacist!

Yeah all 300 of them I’m sure; and every one of them was voting Democrat anyway.

It’s hard to be a Trump-supporting Jew, when doing so risks having Democrat-supporting family and community members denounce you.

Trump should say. You are bringing race into the word, “Nationalism”. I love my country, it is you dicing up races and people.” If we are white and love our country, of course we are “white” nationalists. Of course this by their pronouncement not ours

Democrats base their entire platforms and campaigns on identity politics. They talk about what's good for non-whites (at the expense of whites), women (at the expense of men), homosexuals (at the expense of heterosexuals), and then project the same thinking, albeit inverted, onto their critics.

You can be a nationalist without being a white nationalist.
/////////////////////////

True, but can you be white and a nationalist without being a white nationalist?
The left has duped people for 100 years by using the english language to purposefully lie about who they are and who we are.

Media began to conflate white supremacy with white nationalism as synonymous terms. It is impossible for a “white” person who believes that America is a “nation” to successfully deny he is a white nationalist. If you try you are automatically wrong.
That is the genius of Trump. He knows what they are doing and he destroys them by attacking them head on. Hence the “I.m not a globalist, I’m a nationalist.” statement at his last rally. He knows they will now call him a “white nationalist” and that automatically makes him a “white supremicist” because they have already linked the two terms in the drone like NPC leftist mantra. The next link is the NAZI/Hitler meme and our character assassination is complete.
Trump, always ahead of the cultural game will now double down on nationalism v globalism as the “global” leftist caravan of invaders attacks our border. American citizens will now see “globalism” in action as these invaders attempt to unlawfully enter our country. Media will scream Trump is racist white nationalist but americans will see the truth played out and they will further distrust the left, the democrats, and the media. This distrust will include many black, and spanish American citizens who are instinctively threatened by lawless invasion of our country. The sheep’s clothing is off the wolf and much of America now knows it.

Did you think Jews are the only Trump supporters that are subjected to that? If so, you might want to rethink that.

He’s in trouble for making comments supportive of Faith Goldy and Geert Wilders who also get called white nationalists/supremacists because they too, see Islam for what it is.

All one has to do is look at what’s happening in the EU. Terrorists and related killings in the name of Islam. Sharia courts and mass raping of white girls in the UK. No go zones.

We don’t have as much of that, yet, but we have our Southern lack of a border to make up for it. More people who have no desire to assimilate and become Americans. It’s either viva la socialism or submit to Allah.

When I look at the common misconception of what Islam really is and where it leads, I cannot help but think of the Scripture where it says the Lotd send a strong delusion upon those who steadfastly refuse to honor Him.

'Are you willing to go on record denouncing 'white nationalism' and 'white supremacy'?

Are you willing to go on the record denouncing "Fake News?"

“I love my country, so I’m a nationalist, next question”.

Very interesting

A few days ago when this fake news issue came up I stated that

I am a Nation Alist

I love my country

I’ve met Steve King from IA

He graciously came to a Free Republic event/rally we sponsored in DC many years ago

He’s a good conservative, my best to him

I knew that Trump was on the same page and knew immediately what he meant when he said he is a Nationalist

The democrats keep grasping at straws
