OMG. Congressman Steve King on MSNBC

Declares that the only contributions to civilization are from white Christian worlds. Eastern and Western Europe basically. Black woman gets no chance to respond because Chris Hayes doesn't want a big fight and goes to commercial.

Well, Chris Hayes would be perfect at CNN, where they leave every evil, lying, hurtful, braindead comment totally unchallenged with "We'll have to leave it at that."

I'm a little stunned at what he just said. A minute before this, he was speaking negatively about 'identity politics' because "we're all created equal in the eyes of God" and now he's apparently saying, "except white people are better."

I was just talking about it in the 2016 board. Such an unreal moment. They don't even try to hide it and the convention is just getting started!!!

Had to watch it a second time and I still don't think it's real. That was a schoolyard fight waiting to break out. How do I see what transpired after they cut to break?

And, in his world, algebra and trigonometry don't exist, apparently.

Fucking bigot.
