Rep. King: Comparing Immigrants To Dogs Was A ‘Compliment’
The latest offensive comment from Mr. King. Would be nice to see him defeated this November. Any chance of that, or is his district too Republican?
Sep 7, 2012
KING: …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 isle. But that’s what that was, was a compliment. And everyone who was there that heard that knows that.
