WASHINGTON ― Congressman Steve King is normally one of the more talkative members of the House of Representatives, but the Iowa Republican went quiet on Wednesday when HuffPost asked about his tweets.
On Tuesday, King had retweeted Mark Collett, a prominent British white supremacist, with a comment about the need for America to wake up to the perils of immigration. It was at least the second time King had retweeted Collett, who makes YouTube videos ranting about Jews and downplaying the historical significance of slavery and the Holocaust.
King’s office ignored requests for comment, so HuffPost asked King in person if he knew he’d been retweeting a guy with clear Nazi sympathies.
“I’m going to follow her advice right here,” King said, referring to an aide who said the congressman wouldn’t stop to talk after a HuffPost reporter identified himself.
