Steve King Says Yes to Resolution Against His Own Comments: ‘Let’s Vote for This’

EXCERPT:

KING: “And I look at this language that’s here. This resolution that the House of Representatives once again rejects white nationalism and white supremacy and hateful expressions of intolerance that are contradictory to the values that define the people of the United States. I agree with that language, I said, but I will add to it, the language I used on this floor in this very place last Friday afternoon when I said, I would strengthen it by adding my previous statements, which not only correctly rejects white nationalism and white supremacy as evil ideologies but also condemn anyone that supports this evil and bigoted ideology that saw in its ultimate expression the systematic murder of six million innocent Jewish lives. That’s where I stand. That’s what I believe. So I want to compliment the gentleman from South Carolina for bringing this resolution, and I’ve carefully studied every word in this resolution and even though I’d add some more that are stronger language, I agree with the language in it. So I want to ask my colleagues on both sides of the aisle, let’s vote for this resolution. I’m putting up a yes on the board here because what you state here is right and it’s true and it’s just. And so is what I have stated here on the floor of the House of Representatives. Thank you, Madam Speaker, and I yield back the balance of my time."
