GOP Rep. Steve King Retweets White Nationalist

Rep. Steve King (R-IA) promoted a known white nationalist on his Twitter feed earlier this week when he quote-tweeted Lana Lokteff, the host of YouTube channel Red Ice. Right Wing Watch reports that King featured a Lokteff tweet that said white children where not “Nazis.” King added to Lokteff’s post, writing: “‘Nazi’ is injected into Leftist talking points because the worn out & exhausted ‘racist’ is over used & applied to everyone who lacks melanin & who fail to virtue signal at the requisite frequency & decibels. But...Nazis were socialists & Leftists are socialists.” In the past, Lokteff has claimed that inter-racial dating was “more devious than blatant in-your-face mass murdering” and embraced ethno-nationalism.
