[erinlevere]

Trump supporters must of really hated seeing a black president to let they're racisam out like this smh under Trump has empowered that's for sure

[MW-qgnm]

Why is it bad to describe someone as WHITE?? And the BLACK congressional caucus is OK. That caucus is discriminating..just by the NAME.

[lduych]

*Is Steve King supposed to be an example of 'white superiority'?*

[dstmars]

Nationalism by definition implies a certain level of superiorty over other nations or peoples.

How about you run his actual speech. We don't need this curated story assembled from selected sound bites tied together with biased narration in order to create an agenda driven story.

[Amor-Fati.]

Wow Tim Scott should have not blasted that man. Being a Nationlist, is simply love for country. When you inject White into the mix, then that is lovefor a race. 2 totally different meanings. You would think Tim Scott would have at least looked it up

[kainhall]

but ABSOLUTELY NO ONE heard "sell the conservative brand"??

that would explain why people wont even admit trump because my Chevy is the best truck in the world

ya, my chevy has broken down and cost me 500 bucks in parts.... BuT ITs ThE Best TRUcK IN Da wOrlD

[senator]

...racism... is biology telling you who you are; and who you 'We The People'...is democracy saying... its not a race, its not a place, its an idea

[vnczckj]

Steve King is the voice of the Republican he is the voice of ignorance, intolerance, racism, sexism, science denying, bigotry & stupidity. King & the Republican Party are a disgrace and are doomed. If they think a party of white men, over 50, that think, act and speak like King & Trump is the future of the country....well, good luck with that fools. The sooner all of you are gone the better our country & the world will all be.

I'm sure Trump will select him as a running mate for 2020.

[gunbroker]

Wow. Those comments were so offensive that I cannot even eat anymore. Life for me has officially come to an end. Woe is me.

[Salmon_Rush_Die]
