Rep. Steve King Refuses To Apologize For Comparing Immigrants To Dogs In Heated Univision Interview

VIDEO here: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/rep-steve-king-refuses-to-apologize-for-comparing-immigrants-to-dogs-in-feisty-abc-univision-interview/

Republican Representative Steve King got into a nasty exchange with ABC Univision host Jorge Ramos over a speech King gave last year in which he suggested America had the “pick of the litter” when it comes to immigrants. King vehemently denied he had made the comparison, and insisted his comments were laudatory of legal immigrants, even as Ramos pressed him to apologize for his “offensive and racist” remarks.
