Steve King (R-IA) has further proven that white supremacists now feel they have a voice to go national with their beliefs of white power and white superiority since #45 is now in the White House.</p>
<p dir="auto"><a href="http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/13/politics/steve-king-iowa-race-babies-border/index.html" rel="nofollow ugc">http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/13/politics/steve-king-iowa-race-babies-border/index.html</a></p>
<p dir="auto">They feel this way as a direct result to #45's success in 2016. When Barack Obama won, there weren't any black politicians or Congressmen openly or covertly saying, "blacks are superior and are more deserving of life and opportunities than whites." No one was committing acts of violence against white immigrants while shouting, "Get out of my country!" This is a recent disgusting occurrence and it is directly tied to #45 and his hateful, white nationalist rhetoric. There aren't any modern comparisons to what we are currently facing with the rise of white nationalism and white supremacy in this country. The few Republican presidents we've had in the last 30 years may have used racism to unify the Republican base at times (i.e. Reagan's welfare queen statements, George H.W. Bush's racist Willie Horton ads), but they stopped short of actually rallying their base with blatant white supremacist language. People who think like Steve King were very careful back then not to bring the wrong kind of attention to their racist antics out of the fear they'd lose elections and support. However, now that they feel safe and justified in their beliefs because of the rise of #45, we're seeing the real them.</p>
<p dir="auto">This is frightening to a lot of us, but it's not a reason to panic or feel like we should leave this country. This is a time for reflection and condemnation. What Steve King has effectively done is put the entire Republican party as well as ANYONE who voted for #45 in a paradox. With the statements being as blatant as they are right now, those who voted for #45 are either themselves white supremacists (consciously or subconsciously) or the white supremacist statements were not a problem for them. Remember, you do not have to be white to believe in white supremacy or to not see it as a serious enough problem so when a candidate argues for it blatantly, you still support that person. If it was not a problem for you, then by definition you have no problem with racism. There simply is no in-between with this situation. People like Paul Ryan and #45 voters can shout it until they're blue in the face that they are not racists or supporters of racism, they voted for and/or supported a candidate who blatantly made the argument for white nationalism and white supremacy; so much so that he has inspired a Congressman to openly defend that argument.</p>
<p dir="auto">There is no in-between. You either voted for and/or supported the man making the argument or you didn't. If you did, the evidence shows you supported white supremacy in the 2016 election and you currently support it by continuing to support #45. "I voted for jobs," "I voted for the Obamacare repeal," "I voted for the non-politician;" none of that excludes the fact that you voted for the man who has reawakened the argument for white supremacy in this country. Knowing that he is a proponent of white nationalism and that he hired well-known white nationalist Steve Bannon did nothing to stop you from voting for him; therefore, you either indirectly or directly support white nationalism and white supremacy. The writing is on the wall and once again, there is no in-between with this situation.</p>

Instead of refuting my claims, which you must agree with, you've made attempts to equalize things that Hillary Clinton has allegedly supported (without any substantial proof to back up those claims by the way). Why are you trying to minimize the effects of white nationalism and white supremacy instead of refuting that they actually exist and they have damaging effects on society? Is it because Steve King's words are so well-known? Is it because the Republican party in Congress has given him chairmanship of committees and subcommittees despite his support for white nationalism and white supremacy?

<p dir="auto">I condemn the things you accuse Hillary Clinton of yet I have not heard you condemn the hate speech from white nationalists like Steve Bannon, Steve King and #45 himself.

<p dir="auto">Accusing Steve Bannon of being a "white nationalist" is just delusional and detached from reality at this point. The only people that think Steve Bannon is some kind of anti-semite or racist are the uninformed that are insulated from facts. Even the ADL walked back their accusations of Steve Bannon being anti-semitic or racists. Literally the ONLY "proof" they could come up with is that the comment section on some articles had some racist trolls in them, which by that logic would also mean Youtube is responsible for racist trolls commenting on youtube videos, and would also mean youtube endorses racism.<br />

Trump has condemned racism, white nationalism, etc more times than any of us can count. I certainly condemn racism, in ALL forms, but the left has yet to condemn their own racist anti-white, anti-semitic people. The left was getting ready to prop up well known anti-semitic racist Keith Ellison as their DNC chair, and NOBODY condemned his hateful speech which emboldened anti-semitic "liberal" racists. Or the fact that the left supports openly racist policies such as BDS movement which has emboldened anti-semites everywhere. The left in America will go the same way as Corbyn's party if they continue to refuse to condemn racism on their OWN side.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">The left deals with their troublemakers by removing them or keeping them from getting into positions of power, the right doesn't.</p>
</blockquote>
<p dir="auto">Riiiight… Which is why the organizers of the leftist "Women's march" against Donald Trump was organized by a woman that advocates for Female genital mutilation and is vehemently anti-semitic (Linda Sarsour) and by a woman that tortured, kidnapped and killed a gay man (Donna Hylton) and when asked why she sodomized the gay man with a stool before killing him she replied "he was a homo anyway". Or that Democrats were literally ready to prop up well known anti-semitic racist Keith Ellison as DNC chair despite his hateful rhetoric. The left have never denounced Keith Ellison's hateful and racist comments, or Al Sharpton's racist comments as well, Or denounced when Obama made fun of the mentally handicapped, Or when Hillary Clinton mocked disabled children and called them "fucking retards" Or the fact that the most racist institutionalized policy in America today (The BDS movement) originates from the left and is supported by Democrats such as Keith Ellison etc.<br />

Not to mention that Omar Mateen (who was a registered democrat as well) and his father both supported Hillary Clinton, as well as countless other radicals. Seddique Mateen (father of Orlando shooter and radical taliban supporter) was invited to Hillary's rally. Hillary NEVER denounced Mateen's support, she even dodged questions about Mateen at a Miami event, it wasn't until media pressure was so great that her CAMPAIGN denounced Mateen. She herself never denounced him. Syed Farook's dating profile listed himself as "very liberal" as well. We could go and on in circles about hate on both sides. Don't get me wrong there are hateful people on the right as well, but the worst thing a radical Republican is going to do to me is read a Bible to me and tell me I'm going to hell. While the worst thing a radical liberal will do is bring in millions of people that want to kill gays. I left a muslim country to come to America to get away from that. No thanks.</p>

<p dir="auto">“Look, are there some people that are white nationalists that are attracted to some of the philosophies of the alt-right? Maybe. Are there some people that are anti-Semitic that are attracted? Maybe. Right? Maybe some people are attracted to the alt-right that are homophobes, right? But that’s just like, there are certain elements of the progressive left and the hard left that attract certain elements.” - Steve Bannon</p>
<p dir="auto">You gave the same exact argument as Steve Bannon himself, which is another attempt at deflection. "Our side does it, but so does the left," is not a substantial argument to refute the claim. Why can't Steve Bannon come out against the disgusting things that a congressman in a position of power in our country's legislature (Rep. King) has said recently? He has not effectively come out against white nationalism and white supremacy, meaning no one outside of that realm believes him whenever he attempts to refute the claims made against him. You refute claims by proving your case, and he has yet to prove his case. Why didn't he say there's absolutely nothing about the "alt-right" movement that promotes white nationalism and/or white supremacy? Do you see the problem?</p>

<p dir="auto">{Since this is already off-topic}<br />
As for this constant bringing up of left-wing issues, I can agree there are racists and even anti-Semites on the left. The film "Get Out" showed just how ugly the left can be. There are many troublemakers on the left and there are even disgusting, vile beings on the left; however, those people are often kept from gaining any kind of power in anything. You brought up Keith Ellison. Is Keith Ellison the current DNC chairman, or are we living in reality where he didn't win? What committees have Keith Ellison as a current chairman? Is he the minority whip or minority leader or anything in the House of Representatives? Being deputy chair of the DNC doesn't come with some great policymaking power and he's not the one on TV making the case for Democrats, the actual chairman Tom Perez is. Well-known pervert Anthony Weiner was forced to leave Congress BY DEMOCRATS. Republicans, the party of Christian values, rarely do the same thing. I posted a thread a little while ago about a recent Republican state legislator in Oklahoma who was not pushed out of his seat by any of his Republican colleagues or the Republican voters after participating in child prostitution. The left deals with their troublemakers by removing them or keeping them from getting into positions of power, the right doesn't.</p>

<p dir="auto">Accusing Steve Bannon of being a "white nationalist" is just delusional and detached from reality at this point. The only people that think Steve Bannon is some kind of anti-semite or racist are the uninformed that are insulated from facts. Even the ADL walked back their accusations of Steve Bannon being anti-semitic or racists. Literally the ONLY "proof" they could come up with is that the comment section on some articles had some racist trolls in them, which by that logic would also mean Youtube is responsible for racist trolls commenting on youtube videos, and would also mean youtube endorses racism.<br />

Trump has condemned racism, white nationalism, etc more times than any of us can count. I certainly condemn racism, in ALL forms, but the left has yet to condemn their own racist anti-white, anti-semitic people. The left was getting ready to prop up well known anti-semitic racist Keith Ellison as their DNC chair, and NOBODY condemned his hateful speech which emboldened anti-semitic "liberal" racists. Or the fact that the left supports openly racist policies such as BDS movement which has emboldened anti-semites everywhere. The left in America will go the same way as Corbyn's party if they continue to refuse to condemn racism on their OWN side.</p>

<p dir="auto">How is asking you to refute my claims "ignoring my side's guilt?" What you are trying to do is minimize what this topic is about by bringing an irrelevant argument. Like I've said, I made an argument backed up by reputable sources and instead of providing your own sources to refute those claims, you tried to deflect and you never even attempted to refute my claims. You know what that means? 95-98% of what you say is wholly irrational based on either some mild form of mental illness or just old-fashioned racism. Hard to discern which it is or if it's a combination of both. &lt;&lt;&lt; my standard reply to you from now on (I gave you ample chances this time)</p>

<p dir="auto">Your argument is irrational because you are attempting to refute my claims by bringing in Hillary Clinton, who is wholly irrelevant to this topic. <strong>Refute my claims with evidence that Steve King, Steve Bannon and #45 have never said a single thing defending white nationalism and/or white supremacy.</strong> Using Hillary Clinton as some "well she's doing it, too," symbol of false equivalence worked well while the election was happening but now it's over. We are talking about reality now, not make believe or what would've happened. The reality is we have people in positions of power (King, Bannon, #45) defending white nationalism and white supremacy because they now feel comfortable due to the election of #45. You may not take the effects of white nationalism and white supremacy serious but that gives you no right to attempt to minimize them to those of us who are effected by them in this country. If you want to make a thread about liberals supporting all of the bad things Hillary and Bill have supported, fine, make your thread with your own sources. No one is stopping you. But what you will not do is deride what this discussion is about just because you're uncomfortable with the topic. <strong>Where is your evidence that King, Bannon and #45 have never uttered a single comment defending or inspiring white nationalism and/or white supremacy?</strong></p>

<p dir="auto">Excuse me sir, but I used a combination of sources from very different media outlets. You cannot claim that every single source I used is "fake news" or a "far left rag" without providing sources that refute my claims. This is basic logical reasoning we are talking about here, not make believe or gut feelings. And once again I am reminding you to stop trying to deflect what this discussion is about. It is not about Hillary Clinton, it is about what the title of the thread says, <strong>"Steve King is proof that #45 has emboldened white supremacists."</strong> Where in that title or in my initial argument in the first post do you see any mention of Hillary Clinton? This argument is not about Clinton or any other irrelevant topic you keep trying to bring into this discussion. Where are your sources proving that Steve King, Steve Bannon or even the Republican party as a whole has never embraced racism and/or white nationalism and white supremacy to unify their base? Where are your sources that prove Steve King or Steve Bannon have never made any comments supporting white nationalism and/or white supremacy? Is Steve King not a Republican assigned as a chairman to a current Congressional committee or subcommittee; therefore, suggesting he is in leadership within the Republican controlled Congress? Is Steve Bannon not a lead strategist and consultant to #45 in the White House? What about my argument is false and where are your sources to prove they are false?</p>

Steve King or the fact that they are themselves white nationalists and white supremacists doesn't bother you one bit; <strong>you are supporting white nationalism and white supremacy.</strong> It's very telling how no one is refuting the actual claim. Why are you not refuting the sources with your own sources that prove Rep. Steve King, Steve Bannon or even #45 himself are not pushing a white nationalist, white supremacist agenda in this country? Where is your proof that the Republican party has not used racism to unify their base for the last 30-40 years? It's very telling that most people's first line of defense it to shout, "I'm not a white supremacist," instead of condemning the disgusting things that Rep. Steve King and Steve Bannon have said. Do you agree that white people are superior to everyone else? Do you agree that white people have contributed the most to modern civilization; therefore, only white people should be treated fairly and humanely? Why are you not refuting this and instead are bringing irrelevant things into this discussion?</p>
<p dir="auto">You're not holding me to my own logic by bringing up irrelevant topics into a discussion about one highly specific argument. Hold me to my logic by proving what I am saying is wrong with your own reputable sources. You cannot prove someone wrong on a highly specific topic by bringing in irrelevant information. Bringing in irrelevant information automatically destroys your argument. This discussion is about Steve King and others like him being emboldened by the white nationalist rhetoric of Steve Bannon and our current chief executive, #45. Here are some examples of that white nationalist rhetoric and the embracing of that white nationalist rhetoric by actual white nationalists and white supremacists.</p>

<p dir="auto">Let me guess, all of these reputable sources are a part of some mass left-wing conspiracy, right? Steve King, Steve Bannon and #45 have never inspired any white nationalists and/or white supremacists with their rhetoric? No wonder why you people never once came out against the ridiculous "alternative facts" claim. You truly believe in an alternate reality.</p>
