Steve King Responds to Paul Ryan: I Didn’t Misspeak, He ‘Misunderstands What I Said’
‘It was characterized by the left as having a race component to it, but you can look down through the words and the language, and there’s nothing in my statement that references race in any way’
Steve King Responds to Paul Ryan Criticizing Tweet: I Didn’t Misspeak, He ‘Misunderstands What I Said’ (Mediaite)
Congressman Steve King appeared on Fox News tonight to once again defend his “somebody else’s babies” tweet and respond to what Speaker Paul Ryan said earlier about it.
Ryan said on Fox earlier tonight that what King said does not reflect “what is special about this country,” adding, “I’d like to think that he misspoke and it wasn’t really meant the way that that sounds, and hopefully he’s clarified that.”
Ryan’s comments came on the heels of strong condemnation of King’s tweet from a number of other Republicans, including some of King’s own House colleagues.
