A couple of folks have asked me to explain what the hell is going on with Representative @SteveKingIA & to tell their fellow Iowans. Happy to. What you need to know is that Steve King is an extreme white nationalist. In another time, he'd be a Nazi... /1
Steve King has recently made headlines due to a meeting with the Freiheitliche Partei Österreichs or 'FPÖ'. Founded and led by ex-Nazis, they pursue a Hard Right, anti-immigrant agenda. Now that they're in coalition, they push policies like this... /2 iowainformer.com/politics/2018/…
He met with them again on a tour funded - ironically - by a Holocaust memorial charity. When questioned as to his thoughts after Auschwitz, he said that he was going to follow up with 'non-Jews' about 'how bad the Holocaust really was'. /3 washingtonpost.com/powerpost/holo…
Steve King has also met with the leaders of European Hard Right parties that have struggled with their associations with Neo-Nazis & the Alt-Right - Frauke Petry of the German @AfD, Geert Wilders of the Dutch PVV. /4
It's not just Hard Right populist parties that @SteveKingIA is playing footsies with. He's not for retweeting Neo-Nazis like @MarkACollett, who has openly called for the repatriation of all 'non-whites'. /5 thehill.com/homenews/house…
.@SteveKingIA has also endorsed @FaithGoldy for Toronto Mayor, an open white-supremacist who is known to use the '14 words' - 'We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.' in her rhetoric. /6 vox.com/policy-and-pol…
Steve King is not just 'turning it on for Trump', so to speak. He associates, endorses, & is endorsed by the Hard Right, Neo-Nazis & white supremacists. He ignores Iowans to pursue a dangerous, idiotic crusade. The folks of Iowa deserve better. It's worth spreading the word. /FIN
Addendum: The @GOP NRCC is no longer funding @SteveKingIA's campaign, following a number of major brands dropping their support. fortune.com/2018/10/31/ste…
