The representative said his experiences facing criticism over white nationalism and supremacy comments has given him 'better insight' into Jesus' persecution.
Rep. Steve King said that after facing months of criticism for comments in The New York Times about white supremacy and nationalism, he better understands the persecution Jesus Christ felt.
"When I have to step down to the floor of the House of Representatives, and look up at those 400-and-some accusers – you know we just passed through Easter and Christ's passion – and I have better insight into what he went through for us, partly because of that experience," King told about 30 attendees at the town hall at Western Iowa Tech Community College.
"Trip Gabriel typed detailed notes during the interview and we are absolutely confident that we quoted Mr. King accurately, fairly and in the proper context," Times editor Patrick Healy told the Post. King said he is proud of the"strong Christian ethic" in Iowa's 4th District, which he represents. He said the U.S. is a Christian nation because Americans have strong morals and are willing to confess to wrongdoings and ask for forgiveness.
