Steve King, Stephen Miller, Donald Trump — all on exactly the same racist, pro-Nazi page.
Steve King is only in trouble, not because he made disgusting, racist, vile, offensive remarks endorsing white supremacy, but because he made two big mistakes:
a) he forgot to use the dog-whistle coded euphemisms they think the rest of us are too stupid not to understand exactly what they are saying, but which they think are oh, so clever.
b) he said the same thing they say to each other when no one else is listening, but he slipped and forgot he was talking to the New York Times instead of the Nazi rag Daily Stormer.
Trump is no different from Steve King except he has the power to summon primary challengers, of which the spineless moral cowards of today’s TrumpubliKKKon party are terrified, with a few notable exceptions.
Once upon a time, the party of Lincoln (who ended slavery), Teddy Roosevelt (who invited the first African American official guest of state to the White House) and Eisenhower (who called out the National Guard to integrate Southern schools after the 1954 decision in Brown vs the Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas (347 U.S. 483 (1954)) stood up to Racists and Russians.
Today the “Three R’s” of that party have become “Racists, Russians, RepubliCONs.”
