Rep. Steve King (R-IA) thinks that one of America’s neighbors is trying to annex parts of the U.S. southwest.
“We do have some neighbors that would like to take some chunks out of the great southwest of the United States and change the map of the United States of America,” he said on the House floor last night.
King was talking on the House floor last night about the Middle East, and encouraged the people of Israel to “stand up for liberty and freedom.”
He said that the U.S. has defended its freedom for generations, but that this country is not “completely surrounded by enemies that would like to annihilate you as a people and as a country.”
King said:
We have no neighbors that draw maps of the world that erase the United States from that map. We do have some neighbors that would like to take some chunks out of the great southwest of the United States and change the map of the United States of America.
