Did you hear him say it?
Not trying to be snarky, but the translations from the Left are very poor these days.
I would have to have better proof than it was just reported.
Look, I’ll only defend the guy to a point. If he did say it, he was out of bounds clearly.
If he didn’t, we need to label the Times for what it did here.
You can listen to his speech on the floor and decide for yourself.

“One phrase in that long article has created an unnecessary controversy. That was my mistake,” King said.
He isn’t a white supremacist or a racist, but it was a gaffe to take the NYT interview and ask this question to the NYT even if he meant it in a different way.
