Steve King: It was a compliment to say immigrants are like dogs
People just can’t take a compliment these days. That’s what Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, said last night in defense of his May comment that Americans should be sure to “get the pick of the litter” when selecting which immigrants should become citizens.
“This American vigor that we have that comes from legal immigrants who came to this country with a dream — we get the cream of the crop of every donor civilization on the planet — and people that can take a compliment and turn it into an insult are not going to be constructive working across the aisle. But that’s what that was, was a compliment,” King said in a radio debate with his campaign challenger Christie Vilsack. ”
Name one context in which comparing anyone to a dog is a compliment. I’m waiting.
Donate to his opponent here. Christie Vilsack is currently putting up a solid fight against this fuckwit according to the Rothenburg report, which has the IA-4 race as “toss-up/tilt Republican.”
