    The rhetoric and beliefs of Congressman Steve King have been under such scrutiny recently that two companies that have donated to him––Intel and Land O’Lakes––are cutting ties to him completely.

    He recently endorsed a white nationalist candidate running for office in Canada, and the Washington Post reported that he defended his associations with Austria’s Freedom Party recently by saying this:

    He said the groups he’s associated with that are criticized as having neo-Nazi views were more accurately “far right” groups. He specifically cited Austria’s Freedom Party, which was founded by a former Nazi SS officer and is led by Heinz-Christian Strache, who was active in neo-Nazi circles as a youth. The group has emphasized a hard-line anti-immigration stance even as it seeks to distance itself from the Nazi connections.

    “If they were in America pushing the platform that they push, they would be Republicans,” King said.

    Earlier this year King retweeted a Nazi sympathizer, subsequently saying he didn’t know that to be the case and declining to take it down after being informed of such.

    Per Bloomberg, a new poll this week shows King only leading by one point against Democratic challenger J.D. Scholten.

    On Sunday, the chairs of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee and National Republican Congressional Committee were interviewed jointly by Chuck Todd, during which segment each accused the other of overlooking anti-Semitism or racism among the candidates they are backing going into next week.

    Following all the increased attention on King, NRCC Chair Congressman Steve Stivers today issued a statement condemning Congressman King:

    I guess along the lines of the OP's thought process, if the Bolshevicks were in Amercia pushing their platform they'd be Democrats.

    NAZIs are Socialists! Only one party has Socialists, Communists and Islamists as their members who are actually in Congress! That is the Democrat Party! NAZI stands for Nationalist Socialist Workers Party which Adolf Hitler was part of!
    Let us remember too by Democrats owned black slaves, had an actual KKK klansman Robert Byrd as a Senator they voted for, he was adored by Hillary Clinton who called black Super Predators. President Abraham Lincoln adored by blacks was a Republican! Republican politicians died protecting and fighting for black rights against the KKK and the Democrats!

    This tripe again.

    Republicans love socialiasm as long as it benefits them aka white socialism.

    Look at all the red states, look at all the Cons who love social security, medicare and farm subsidies.

    Democrats owned slaves when they had a conservative wing called the Dixiecrats, here is a quote from their most famous leader. Dixiecrat George Wallace

    "I am a conservative. I intend to give the American people a clear choice. I welcome a fight between our philosophy and the liberal left-wing dogma which now threatens to engulf every man, woman, and child in the United States. I am in this race because I believe the American people have been pushed around long enough and that they, like you and I, are fed up with the continuing trend toward a socialist state which now subjects the individual to the dictates of an all-powerful central government.
