Does King say that he was misquoted? If he was misquoted, King should say so and should release his recording of the interview. If he didn't record the interview, then I wonder what is wrong with him. Every sentient conservative knows that you cannot trust the New York Times to be honest.
If he was not misquoted, then we need to know not just what he meant to say, but why he made such a strange comment.
“Action will be taken,” McCarthy said Sunday of King on CBS’ “Face the Nation.””
McCarthy rides in on his white horse to do the work of the Democrats! Sure would be nice if he was this determined to stop the coup for the last two years, or to shut down this Mueller lunacy, or to get the FISA affidavit released. Or if he was this energetic about killing Obamacare, or building the wall, or stopping islamic immigration.
“In 2018, King spoke to an Austrian far-right publication about “the great replacement”, which the New York Times described as “a conspiracy theory on the far right that claims shadowy elites are working behind the scenes to reduce white populations to minorities in their own countries”
What was he thinking? I’m guessing he was thinking about the shadowy elites working behind the scenes to reduce white populations to minorities in their own countries. A great replacement if you will.
If you think that is not happening, and by design, I would love you hear you explain why you think that.
“what an idiot. Must be going senile”
You mean McCarthy? Otherwise which of King’s statements do you disagree with?
Do you happen to know for a fact what Rep. King actually said?
Or do you know what somebody else said that somebody else thinks he said? He was interviewed by the New York Times. I’m not sure it was recorded. Do you trust them?
This looks a lot like standard issue Republican failure theater. Completely worthless.
I believe what happened is Rep. King doesn’t believe there’s anything wrong with being a nationalist. Most Americans feel the same way. So he’s a nationalist. He also happens to be white.
So he’s a “White Nationalist” in the scary KKK sense or whatever, in the fevered imagination of the New York Times. See how that works?
If we had politicians who weren’t such squishes we wouldn’t have half the problems in America that we do. They are absolutely worthless. That’s why voters overwhelmingly rejected the “establishment” candidates in 2016 and voted for Trump. They instinctively knew he doesn’t play that.
Republicans need to focus their ire on the leftists and democrats. Not fellow republicans who are the target of phony smear campaigns.
What did King say that makes you think he is having a neurological event?
Paul Ryan got pissy about him because he criticized Soros last fall.
Others are angry because he supports the idea that globalist leaders intend to replace white populations in Europe and America with minorities from Africa, the middle east, and Mexico.
Yeah... must be a neurological event. Nobody sane could EVER believe THAT./s
“His district is very conservative. How long? I hope long enough for me to get outta here.”
Until it is over-run by Mexicans and Chinese. Which BTW, is kinda King’s point.
Notice how the article positively asserts as a statement of fact that Rep. King made racist remarks.
This shit has to end.
And McCarthy is there with arms linked with the people who wrote the story.
Cruz unfortunately can be relied upon to throw people under the bus. He has a habit of accepting leftist BS premises at times.
This is standard leftist bullshit operations. Republicans are expected to apologize for things they didn’t say. Then other Republicans are expected to pile on and condemn the person for something they didn’t say.
This cultivates a meme over time, associating a particular person with the media label in the mind of the public. We live in a soundbite world, the American public largely has the attention span of a goldfish.
Sounds like he was confusing supremacy with pride. No problem with white pride, brown pride or green pride. Well... maybe not that last one. Either way he has some confusion to say the least.
You’re exactly correct. The wonder is why Rep. King thought it was a good idea to do a phone interview with the New York Times. Maybe he was hoodwinked.
I guarantee he did not say what it is they are saying he said. Far from it, in fact.
The fact that everybody is piling on is just jawdropping. Republicans are just stupid in ways that are beyond belief.
WHAT ABOUT ALL THE ROTTEN THINGS SAID BY DIMS, EVERY HOUR, EVERY DAY WITHOUT ANYONE HOLDING THEM RESPONSIBLE.
EVERY HOUR, EVERY DAY.
IT GETS OLD.
Yes, of course he has strongly come out against the way the comments were characterized. It probably isn’t going to get much airplay.
It is extremely easy to cherry pick a statement out of a larger comment, and in isolation, out of context, it can be construed to imply the exact polar opposite of what the speaker was trying to convey. This smells like that.
It’s an illustration of a phenomenon my dad used to tell me. “Never get in an argument with someone who buys ink by the railroad car.”
If he actually used the words “White Supremacy”, he wasn’t just wrong, he was feeding a sound-bite to the Left that they will use for decades in an attempt to frame who we are.
If he didn’t, I agree with your take 100%.
Look, there’s nothing wrong with being a White Nationalist. I back you there 100%. A White Nationalist is no different than a Black, a Hispanic, an Asian American nationalist, or any other race of Nationalist in our nation. In that, we are all blood brothers.
If he used the term “White Supremacy”, it was on of the poorest choices he could have made.
I want to see something definitive on this. Until then I won’t jump to the conclusion he did use that term.
That would be my guess... he fell into a semantics trap someone laid for him.
See if you think this commentary is suitable.
