Oh, and I was going to criticize King for this:
King said not all cultures contribute equally to society
King said presuming all cultures are equal devalues the "founding fathers" while arguing with an event attendee at a town hall in Webster County, Iowa. He said that by acknowledging that every culture is equal and contributed equally to society it reduces, "...the contributions of the people that laid the foundation for America and that's our founding fathers," King said at the event on May 28, 2019, in Fort Dodge.
That does sound very offensive.
And then I read it in context:
At a Webster County town hall on Tuesday, Rep. Steve King said presuming all cultures are equal devalues the 'founding fathers,' and tangled with an event attendee who said King discriminated against Mexican and non-white Americans.
The Kiron Republican said, as he has before, that he cares about history and Western civilization — not race.
"If we presume that every culture is equal and has an equal amount to contribute to our civilization, then we're devaluing the contributions of the people that laid the foundation for America and that's our founding fathers," King said in Fort Dodge. "It is not about race, it's never been about race. It is about culture."
-end
Agree that he should be careful. I probably would have criticized Trump for saying something like that also. He has a habit of saying things that can be taken very badly. I am sure I would have taken King apart for that one. Even though what he said is correct in that culture is a problem. If people cannot assimilate into American culture but prefer to bring unamerican idea's. Well we know that does happen. They come with socialism. They come with their own prejudices. Their desires are to change America instead of be American.
