Rep. Steve King (R-IA) Tells Tea Party Crowd Obama Keeps Bringing in Small Quantities of Muslims into USA

Rep. Steve King says he could build border fence that "not even cockroaches" could get across and President Obama keeps bringing in small quantities of Muslims into United States.

Rep. Steve King (R-IA) is at it again. This time, he spewed his divisive and hateful rhetoric at the 9-12 Project Liberty Circle's "United We Stand Arizona," anti-immigration event in Colorado. He told the gathering that he could build a border wall that would ensure "not even a cockroach" could get across. Still, he had a whole lot more hateful things to say:

King said Obama has misinformed the public about Arizona’s law. King said that under only one circumstance does he support amnesty for illegal immigrants: “Every time we give amnesty for an illegal alien, we deport a liberal.”

King was asked by an attendee whether Obama had a concerted strategy to bring more Muslims from abroad into this country. King responded by fanning the conspiracy theory:

QUESTION: I keep reading that Obama keeps bringing small quantities of Muslims into this country. Why can’t Congress stop that?

KING: You know, I don’t know what the basis is of that. I wouldn’t be surprised that that is the real factual basis. I know that the immigration that we have going on, there are a number of different ways that people come into the country. Family reunification is one of them. … I appreciate you making the point. I will try to watch it. h/t Think Progress

What I find absolutely amazing is the fact that, like Michele Bachmann (R-MN), Steve King's constituents continue to elect him to represent them. The man's divisive rhetoric isn't what is needed in Congress at this time.
