"You look like you need a lie, young man." . . . Please come CAPTION Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa)!!!
Steve ("Why lie later when you can lie now?" ) King: "The New York Times, true to form, tricked me then took me out of context. . . . I thought White Nationalism and White Supremacy were two completing brands of laundry detergent, so I said I thought they were both great. . . . I didn't want to take sides. . . . Honest."
*****************************************************
Above CAPTION based on the up-roar about a King interview with The New York Times. Huffington Post covers the story:

It's completely unfair, I tell ya. My best friend and the president of the United States of white America gets to embrace white nationalism and white supremacy without reprimand. But when I do it, well, they take me off all the committees and give my wrist a good slap. You know what that tells me? It tells me that I should run for president. And I believe I stand an excellent chance of making it, too!
