Iowa Rep. Steve King is facing a fierce backlash over a tweet critics say is an open embrace of white nationalism.
On
Sunday, King retweeted a political cartoon featuring Geert Wilders, a
Dutch politician whose anti-Muslim rhetoric and blown-out hairstyle have
drawn plenty of comparisons to Donald Trump.
The cartoon depicts Wilders, chairman of the far-right Party for
Freedom and a member of the Dutch parliament, plugging a hole in the
wall protecting “Western Civilization” as a flood of water bearing the
star-and-crescent symbol of Islam comes crashing over the top.
“Wilders
understands that culture and demographics are our destiny,” King wrote
on Twitter. “We can’t restore our civilization with somebody else’s
babies.”
