Would there be any population of the world left if we did that?” King asked a crowd at the Westside Conservative Club. “Considering all the wars and all the rapes and pillages that happened throughout all these different nations, I know that I can’t say that I was not a part of a product of that.”</p><div class="p10_15" style="font-style: italic; box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;" /></blockquote><p style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; margin: 0px 0px 17px; padding: 0px; font-size: 17px; line-height: 1.8; color: rgb(49, 49, 49); font-family: Cabin, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">It’s pathetic to think Republicans sought this man’s endorsement in 2016. He’s been spewing racist and misogynistic comments throughout his career in Congress, but it wasn’t until he began sharing white nationalist views on Twitter that his colleagues finally began to turn on him. King was stripped of all his committee assignments, leaving him virtually powerless in Congress. Even some Republicans have called for him to resign. Of course, his colleagues could vote to expel him if they wanted to, but no Republicans have showed the courage to lead such a movement thus far.</p><div class="p11_15" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(49, 49, 49); font-family: Cabin, sans-serif; font-size: 17px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);" /><p style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none; margin: 0px 0px 17px; padding: 0px; font-size: 17px; line-height: 1.8; color: rgb(49, 49, 49); font-family: Cabin, sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Steve King is facing Democratic challenger J.D.
