Some posters here seem to have never read the words that got King into trouble. Here they are.

Steve King to the New York Times:

“White nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization — how did that language become offensive?” Mr. King said. “Why did I sit in classes teaching me about the merits of our history and our civilization?”

Steve King has not disputed the accuracy of the quotes. He said that the interview was not taped, which at least means that he did not tape it.

He most certainly HAS disputed it. But yeah, he should have recorded it.

The quotes were taken entirely out of context. He was enumerating some things (isms) that were bad, among them white nationalism, etc, then paused and said, “western civilization .... how did that become bad?” And he defended the achievements of Western Civilization.

The NYT completely distorted it.
