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.

Actually it has more to do with the culture being imported is firmly tied to a medieval religion. Witness Bosnian and Chechen turmoil. Those people are Caucasians and just as terroristic as ISIS. One can learn a new culture just like you can learn a new language. It has been done for millennia. The Romans brought their culture all through the known world just like the Greeks before them.
Race is not the issue. The antique inhuman religion is.
Toe fungus is caused by Freedom.
I heard just part of an interview of Steve King on CNN this morning and, as expected, Chris Cuomo was yelling about “racism”.
Racism, xenophobia, misogynism, islamophobia, homo-lesbophobia, etc., etc., ad nauseum. Yes, it’s beyond tiresome but it’s all they’ve got.
Show me in the US Constitution where trans national free trade is made guaranteed right.
Freedom to buy and sell with whom I want free of higher taxes for the leviathan state and its infinite bureaucrats is not a constitutional right. It is just smart.
Why do you keep arguing for higher taxes and more bureaucrats like Hillary?
I bet the school where Cuomo sends his kids is whiter than a dinner party at Bertchesgarten.
Good for Mr. King!
May we have more to speak up and show a backbone.
Tariffs requite almost zero bureaucrats. The income tax that you Free Traitors™ hide behind is the bureaucratic nightmare behemoth that must die and be replaced by tariffs and a NRST.
There is more TRUTH and PROOF in what King said than there is against what he said.
The anti’s quick resort to name calling is absolute proof of the truth of what King said. They (the anti’s) have no real argument against it.
Hell we can’t even assimilate our own peeps..the public system is full of white guilt-trippin history and globalist propaganda.
Orwell was right on target, Kitty!
Who was that SOB?
Kellyanne shouldn’t have perched on the couch like that, but she did and I really couldn’t care less about the incident; however, the asshole who said that needs mass ridicule.
I want these asshats in a state of perpetual unrest!
I answered that question before I scanned down to see the answer.
Not only was George Washington our first president, but he was the greatest. It’s HIS birthday that should be celebrated and sh-t can the rest of them included M. L. King.
Twitter, Facebook and the rest of these narcissistic (apologies to President Trump) leftist trash collectors should be avoided at all costs.
Can’t disagree with that statement, Bert.
Yes. I kept imagining that graphic of the huge hole in the
earth with all the Democrat lemmings rushing lockstep to
be sucked into the abyss. - So, I on Nov. 8th, 2016, I
walked barefoot over rough gravel over to the polls and
marked my ballot for TRUMP/PENCE, ignoring the “I’m with
HER” bumper stickers - then came home to await the word.
As I watched the talking heads on the MSM stalling and
bawling, and HITLER-Y headquarters going home in a huff,
leaving her supporters sitting there bawling, failing to
watch the high glass ceiling being crashed through
special effects - I began to breathe a bit easier for
the republic.
I did not say MENTION Wilder, I said say the same thing as Wilder. JEEEEZE
