Rep. Steve King compares backlash over white supremacy comments to Jesus' suffering.
Rep Steve King, R-Iowa, compared the fallout over his questioning why using the term "white supremacy" was offensive to the persecution of Jesus Christ.
The congressman went on to cite being"true believers" and"a strong Christian ethic" as heavily impacting his office and who he is as a person. “White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization — how did that language become offensive?” he asked. “Why did I sit in classes teaching me about the merits of our history and our civilization?”
King ultimately backtracked, issuing a statement identifying himself as a “nationalist” and deny that he is an advocate for white nationalism or supremacy.”
