Steve King Actually Compares His Rebuke for Racist Comments with the Crucifixion of Jesus

‘I have better insight into what He went through for us, um, partly because of that experience’

EXCERPT:

KING: “I appreciate hearing from you again. I'm so glad you're here. You know, on our staff we made sure we have solid, faithful people at every level at Washington and here in the district. And it's been — you know, for all that I’ve been through — and it seems even strange for me to say it — but I am at a certain peace, and it is because of a lot of prayers for me. And, when I had to step down to the floor of the House of Representatives and look up at those 400-and-some accusers, you know, we've just passed through Easter and Christ’s passion and I have better insight into what He went through for us, probably because of that experience. So I'm grateful we are the people we are."
