Rep. Steve King and the Racist Origins of So-Called Right to Work
Posted On: Mar 16, 2017

Mar. 16, 2017 | RTW4L | Controversial Iowa Rep. Steve King is once again in hot water for espousing racist, white nationalist views, tweeting that “we can’t restore our civilization with somebody else’s babies.” He doubled down on his bigoted words over the weekend telling CNN that “I meant exactly what I said.” While this story is making headlines, there’s been scant attention paid to how King’s policy agenda reflects his white nationalist views.
