On 12 June 2018, Republican Rep. Steve King got public attention once again for an outburst supporting white nationalism. Europe is waking up, he posted on Twitter. ...Will America...in time? Nick Ryan, a spokesperson for the British advocacy group Hope Not Hate, said that no mainstream politician in their right mind should be spreading Collett's white supremacist stances: King, who is running for re-election in Iowa's 4th Congressional district, has his own vast track record of racist remarks: in July 2013, he claimed that for every undocumented immigrant who was a school valedictorian, there's another 100 out there who weigh 130 pounds, and they've got calves the size of cantaloupes because they're hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert. In November 2015, King spoke out in support of Sen. Ted Cruz's presidential campaign by accusing immigrants of causing a cultural suicide in Europe: King continued to peddle the cultural suicide anti-immigrant viewpoint throughout 2016 and 2017.
