Rep. Steve King's latest tirade: "Latino Immigrants Are From A Violent Civilization"

At the rally, King said:

Rep. Steve King Says Latino Immigrants Are From A ‘Violent Civilization,’ Will Bring ‘More Violence’ To America

If you bring people from a violent civilization into a less-violent civilization, you’re going to have more violence right? It’s like pouring hot water into cold water, does it raise the temperature or not?

...this dude knows the more batshit he goes the more invitations flow in for wingnut dinners and other events. He's making a good penny these days preaching to an ever more unhinged choir. Plus...being from Iowa he's a player in the rushpublican primaries. Thus expect even more crazy from this shitstain...

I must strenuously protest this creature's scurrilous claim that I and my kind have less propensity and aptitude for violence then persons of Latin heritage....
