Recently, Congressman Steve King (Republican - Iowa) praised Austria's Freedom Party, which was founded by a former Nazi SS officer, for its anti-immigration platform. "If they were in America pushing the platform that they push, they would be Republicans," King told the Washington Post.
In a tweet earlier this month, the Iowa Republican endorsed a candidate running for mayor in Toronto who has espoused white supremacist views and questioned if Canada is facing a "white genocide."
King also prompted backlash last year after he said U.S. culture cannot be restored "with somebody else's babies" and advocated for "an America that's just so homogeneous that we look a lot the same." And King has called Western civilization a "superior culture" and refused to delete a retweet of a far-right British immigration activist who has questioned the Holocaust and had blamed slavery on Jewish people. He displays a confederate flag on his desk in Washington, D.C.
King, however, has remained in good standing with President Donald Trump. [/b]Trump headlined a rally in Council Bluffs, Iowa, earlier this month to boost Republicans in the state, including King. He said King "may be the world's most conservative human being” and the president said he supported King "long before I became a politician."
