Rep. Steve King (R-IA) said that he’s received considerable support after his controversial “someone else’s babies” comment, which has been panned by Democratic and Republican lawmakers alike.
King told The Hill Thursday that many of his colleagues — none of whom he named — have been going up to him and saying they support him, saying that they’ll “pray for” him.
“My colleagues have generally been coming by and patting me on the back. And a surprising number have said that they pray for me. And, meaning they support me and they agree with me, a surprising number,” King told the newspaper.
King said that his unnamed colleagues know that he is under fire from the media and want to reassure him that they are on his side.
“I don’t often have members come up and say at the end of the day, ‘I prayed for you this morning.’ So they must think I’ve got a lot of arrows in my back,” he said.
And for his critics? King told The Hill that those on the right side of the aisle who have publicly criticized his comments that we can’t “restore our civilization with somebody else’s babies,” should really take a hard look in the mirror about their own views.
“They have not approached me. But I would say of my Republican critics, you should take a look on their position on immigration and see where they stand,” he said. “There seems to be a curious coincidence.”
Well ya better take advantage of it Steevie —
Seeing as your tRumpledickskin is wanting to strip the funding from mental health services —
They actually said, “Well, bless his heart,” and he is of the belief that that was an sign of support.
Racists tend to support other racists.
Here again for your viewing pleasure is King talking to a DREAMer while Rand Paul damn near overturns the table in his haste to get away. So yeah, I’m pretty willing to believe he’s getting the occasional “attaboy” from people more inhibited than him.
