Censure Rep. Steve King for White Nationalist Tweet
We call for the Ethics Committee to the House of Representatives to begin the process to censure Congressman Steve King (R, Iowa) for his Tweets in favor of White Nationalism.
Why is this important?
From Huffington Post:
U.S. Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) has made no secret of how he views people who aren’t white, Christian or American-born. His latest public remark is being critically viewed as a paean to white nationalism by Democrats and Independents ― but not by his Republican colleagues in Congress.
On Sunday afternoon, King suggested that Muslim children were preventing “our civilization” from being restored.
Here's his Tweet: "Wilders understands that culture and demographics are our destiny. We can't restore our civilization with somebody else's babies."
The tweet was in response to a cartoon tweeted out by an account that supports far-right European candidates and platforms. The cartoon depicts Geert Wilders, a candidate for Dutch Prime Minister, sticking his finger in a dam labeled “Western Civilization” to stop a flow of green ooze with stars and crescent moons ― a color and symbols widely associated with Islam.
