Rep. Steve King (R-IA) said on Wednesday that he saw no reason to be concerned about the possibility of racial profiling in police clashes with protesters in Ferguson, Mo. because the protestors all appeared to be of a single “continental origin.”
King appeared on Newsmax TV on Wednesday where host J.D. Hayworth asked him about the escalating conflict in Ferguson. When asked about the concerns raised by members of the Congressional Black Caucus about the possibility of racial profiling, King said those were unsubstantiated.
“This idea of no racial profiling,” King said, “I’ve seen the video. It looks to me like you don’t need to bother with that particular factor because they all appear to be of a single, you know, of a single origin, I should say, a continental origin might be the way to phrase that.”
King then stated that he prefers to “reject race-based politics, identity politics” because “we’re all God’s children and we all should be held to the same standards and the same level of behavior.”

Every time I think this guy could not get any more repulsive than he already is, he manages to prove me wrong.
Slime personified. No disrespect to slime.
Fucktard!
So, is TPM playing the race card by reporting on this?
I get a little confused sometimes. This seems like another smear attempt by libruls in their War on Whites. And by “smear,” I mean simply transcribing what idiots like this say.
Agreed. This is a new low, even for Mr. King. Is he just that biased or is he so dense that he doesn’t understand the questions and implications of his answers?
