Sarah Sanders: Valuing life is 'what sets America apart from every other country'

8. Yep. First thought Steve King and his "Western civilization"

But elsewhere, King has indicated that when he is talking about “Western civilization” he is talking about “white people.” Rising to bait cast by the politics analyst Charlie Pierce in a 2016 TV interview, King said, “This ‘old white people’ business does get a little tired, Charlie. I’d ask you to go back through history and figure out, where are these contributions that have been made by these other categories of people that you’re talking about, where did any other subgroup of people contribute more to civilization?”

“Than white people?” TV host Chris Hayes asks.

“Than, than Western civilization itself,” King replies. “It’s rooted in Western Europe, Eastern Europe and the United States of America and every place where the footprint of Christianity settled the world. That’s all of Western civilization.”

“The comments,” Beebe said, “I mean they’re all over the place – ‘all uneducated immigrants smuggle drugs,’ ‘black people could afford abortions if they stopped buying iPhones,’ ‘no group has done better for the country than the white people’ – he’s so openly racist, and I find that very abhorrent.”
