U.S. Rep. Steve King told the Westside Conservative Club Wednesday that humanity might not exist if not for rape and incest throughout human history.

"What if we went back through all the family trees and just pulled out anyone who was a product of rape or incest? Would there be any population of the world left if we did that?" he said in Urbandale, Iowa. "Considering all the wars and all the rapes and pillages that happened throughout all these different nations, I know that I can't say that I was not a part of a product of that."

The Kiron Republican was discussing his defense of not allowing exceptions for rape and incest in the anti-abortion legislation he tried to pass in Congress. Republican leadership had prevented bills he sponsored on banning abortions from advancing through the House, despite GOP support for the measures, King said.

...

He also discussed the criticism he faced over a New York Times quote on white nationalism and white supremacy in January...the Times published an article quoting King saying “white nationalist, white supremacist, Western civilization — how did that language become offensive?”

...

King said there was a plan for President Donald Trump to criticize him as well, but he met with Trump and said there's "no signal from Donald Trump that he's anything other than supportive of me."

So we officially have a GOP'er defending rape and incest.

There are no words anymore.

So not only has he been an obvious white nationalist sympathizer (at best) for years, and been on GOP committees and in demands for GOP Presidential campaigns despite that, he’s proposing that women being forced to carry pregnancies as a result of rape/incest be legislated since, hey, it’s a part of human history.

And this is someone there’s “no signal from Donald Trump that he's anything other than supportive of”.
