The Internet Blows Up Over GOP Rep’s Tweet About Immigration
Daily Caller ^ | 3/13/2017 | Scott Greer

Posted on 03/13/2017 4:49:45 AM PDT by HomerBohn

Republican Iowa Rep. Steve King on Sunday tweeted a message in support of Dutch nationalist politician Geert Wilders that included a concern that the children of recent immigrants can’t “restore our civilization.”

That message drew massive backlash from liberals and even a few Republicans.

“Wilders understands that culture and demographics are our destiny. We can’t restore our civilization with somebody else’s babies,” King tweeted.

Wilders is a dark horse candidate for the Dutch presidency and has campaigned on the promise of “de-Islamizing” the Netherlands. He believes Islam is incompatible with western civilization.

Critics of King’s tweet accused it of being an endorsement of racism, Nazism and even genocide

The liberal outlet Slate declared King’s tweet is “an apparent, explicit call to protect white ‘culture and demographics’ from immigrants. It’s the type of rhetoric that you might find at a Klan rally.”

At least one fellow Republican lawmaker has criticized King’s comment. Florida Rep. Carlos Curbelo, who is Cuban-American, wondered if he counted as “someone else’s baby” in a reply to the Iowa congressman’s tweet.

King is a well-known immigration hawk who has been criticized in the past for his remarks on the subject. During an MSNBC panel last July, the lawmaker was called a racist for pushing back against a fellow panelist’s joy that “old white people” are going away and arguing for the greatness of western civilization.

Americans had better wake up to the fact that this nation would definitely fail if Donald Trump hadn't been elected president. What transpires in regards to importing disaster during these next EIGHT years will be very important.

That goes for 'Hispanics' AND Muslims!

Well, the majority of those who voted for The Donald know full well how close to the abyss we were.

The rest are a lost cause I’m afraid.

In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

“Wilders understands that culture and demographics are our destiny. We can’t restore our civilization with somebody else’s babies,” King tweeted.


My gosh, what is so controversial about this? It is true, but what is the big deal?

In his first movie, Obama’s America 2016, Dinesh D’Souza explained the goal of the global elite is to turn the US into just another third-world sh!thole.

I believe God gave us one more chance, no less than four years, to avoid catastrophe. We cannot rely on the election of more Trumps.

Let’s do it! Article V.

None are writing King’s actual words.

Exactly right. You can’t restore your culture by replacing it with a different culture.

I do not believe that President Trump would ever speak or say such a thing as Geert Wilder. The president may be not PC but he knows this would be suicide for him.

Although I would cherish the day that he would say something like this and move on ridding our shores of such bloodlines that thin our Anglo-Saxon heritage that came and stayed to establish such a great and PROSPEROUS country.

Not a country to be drug down to a third world country that celebrates by mutilating the vaginas of teenage girls and humping goats as a past time. The world needs to be rid of such immoral animals.

Very true, they’re given over to the beast, however we’re still standing at the edge of the abyss, we just didn’t jump with Hillary,

As to this story and the ‘the Internet Blowing up’

We know that google, YouTube, Twitter, NSABook are all corrupted managed media and can cause any story to ‘blow up’ the Globalist want promoted, they did this repeatedly during the election and with BLM stories,

President Trump needs to regroup and come out swinging. He got whipped over his perfectly constitutional immigration order. He's still trying to "triangulate" and recast his order with gentler words, of course to no avail at pleasing his enemies.

President Trump came out swinging when he started office. For the last several weeks things seem to have become bogged down. The congressional RYNOs have been no help either. And he has rodents like Linda and McStain constantly trying to take a bite out of him.

I'm worried that President Trump is going to go soft on immigration.

So he should've agreed with this garbage?

The President has the support of half of American voters so I don’t see where it would be suicide for him to mention Wilder.

It has absolutely nothing to do with race! It’s about CULTURE. You cannot preserve the American culture—such things as individual liberty, self reliance, and faith in God—when you import people who stand in direct opposition to American values. Sharia is simply incompatible with liberty, and South American socialism is incompatible with self reliance.

Any tweet outrage needs to be seen through the lens of the purge of all conservatives from twitter.

Twitter is now a liberal echo chamber. The main conservatives or celebrities are kept but the great majority view on twitter is only liberal.

Read the comments and you can see how the purge has affected the comment and support of conservatives. It’s a joke.

When Democrats say demographics is destiny, they mean to overwhelm capitalism and freedom with socialist loving immigrants with more pigmentation.

So King is just acknowledging their point, and fighting back on their own terms.

Just like Republicans are doing Marx’s bidding by the decades of insane free trade and industrial off shoring to the 3rd world. Both sides are screwing America over.

All that is needed is to answer one simple question: "Whom did you grow up in school to idolize?"

If the answer is not George Washington, then you are not the Posterity of We the People.

Whatever happened to that woman-hating racial bigot rep who said Kellyann Conway was a natural on her knees? Didn’t the internet “blow up” over that remark?
