Rep. Steve King on Controversial Tweet: ‘I’ve Been Saying the Same Thing for 10 Years’

EXCERPT:

KING: "Of course I meant exactly what I said, as always is the case. To expand on that a little further, I've been to Europe and I've spoken on this issue and I've said the same thing as far as ten years ago to the German people and any population of people that is a declining population that isn't willing to have enough babies to reproduce themselves. I've said to them, 'You cannot rebuild your civilization with somebody else's babies. You've got to keep your birth rate up and you need to teach your children your values. In doing so, then you can grow your population and you can strengthen your culture, you can strengthen your way of life.' That's not happening in any of the Western European countries. France comes the closest to having a birth rate that's a replacement rate. But it's a clear message that we need to get our birth rates up or Europe will be entirely transformed within a half century or a little more. Geert Wilders knows that and that's part of his campaign and his agenda."
