Steve King speaks to MSNBC (screen grab)
On Sunday, U.S. Rep. Steve King (R-IA) retweeted a link to a post by the far-right newspaper Voice of Europe featuring an image of Dutch white supremacist Geert Wilders, who is running for his country's parliament.
"Wilders understands that culture and demographics are our destiny. We can't restore our civilization with somebody else's babies," wrote King.
Wilders is known for his violent antipathy toward Muslims and for his People's Party for Freedom (PVV) is a haven for white supremacists, neo-Nazis and other fringe elements of the Netherlands' far right.
After King posted the tweet -- and former KKK leader David Duke retweeted it -- Twitter moved in to mock, deride and chastise the congressman for spreading propaganda from one of Europe's most virulently racist public figures.
