  SIMPLY JUST A RACIST

  And before this gets out of hand, as per forum rules please stick to the thread topic. Do you think Republican Congressman King is a white supremacist or simply just a racist?
  
  This is not a thread about whether or not he should resign. Please adhere to forum rules. Thank you.

  WHITE SUPREMACIST

  Honestly, I have to say both based on the following:

  
  

  RACIST:
  

  -he opposes immigration and multiculturalism
  

  -he supports racial profiling

  -he is openly anti-muslim

  
  

  WHITE SUPREMACIST:

  -he has questioned how terms such as "white nationalist" and "white supremacist" became offensive in the U.S.

  https://thehill.com/homenews/house/424688-steve-king-asks-how-terms-white-nationalist-and-white-supremacist-became

  -he endorsed an outright white nationalist running for mayor in Toronto, calling her “Pro Western Civilization and a fighter for our values.”

  https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2018/10/steve-king-white-nationalism-iowa-midterm

  -even someone as right wing as Ted Cruz has characterized King as being white-supremacist

  I'd argue that everything from "racist" also fits within "white supremacist."  Therefore, "white supremacist" is the answer.

  I was just about to say the same thing. Saying a white supremacist is also a regular racist is 100% redundant.

  If you can't figure out a difference between the two in his case (or any), then it's white supremacist.
