But I’ve rarely heard the terms “white nationalist” and “white nationalism” used in my lifetime. In the USA, those terms are almost newly minted and used by the left to hang on white Americans who believe in national sovereignty and who believe immigration laws should be enforced.

Isn't that what King said or is there some difference between your words and his?

“In a 56 minute interview [with the New York Times], we discussed the changing use of language in political discourse. We discussed the worn out label ‘racist’ and my observation that other slanderous labels have been increasingly assigned to Conservatives by the Left, who injected into our current political dialog such terms as Nazi, Fascist. "White Nationalist, White Supremacist,- Western Civilization, how did THAT language become offensive?"

King’s wording is very awkward, so it’s hard to look at the sentence structure and be positive what he meant. People just have to believe or not believe his after-the-fact explanation.

My comment is mainly that the terms “white nationalist” and “white nationalism” have recently been made common by the leftists and the leftist media. It was used extensively after the Charlottesville event and is now commonly used to label Trump supporters and anyone who believes in US sovereignty and enforcement of immigration laws.
