US lawmaker unapologetic over alleged racist remark
|
A phobia is an irrational fear. A legitimate concern is something else altogether. | [AA.TR] A U.S. politician on Monday stood by his comments in support of a far-right Dutch politician notorious for his Islamophobic views.
Republican Representative Steve King of Iowa tweeted over the weekend that Geert Wilders "understands that culture and demographics are our destiny. We can't restore our civilization with somebody else's babies."
When confronted during a CNN interview, King said he "meant exactly what I said.
"You've got to keep your birth rate up, and that you need to teach your children your values. In doing so, you can grow your population, you can strengthen your culture, and you can strengthen your way of life," King said.
He repeatedly dodged the question of whether he considered all Americans equal irrespective of differences.
King’s remarks have sparked outrage, including among Republican politicians who viewed the comments as racist and xenophobic.
Former Republican presidential hopeful Jeb Bush said: "America is a nation of immigrants colonists. The sentiment expressed by Steve King doesn't reflect our shared history or values."
