Congressman Steve King Condemned For Saying ‘Diversity’ Makes America Worse<\/b>
\nAn American congressman has has sparked outrage by condemning \u201cdiversity\u201d.<\/p>\n

Republican Steve King – who has\u00a0previously lauded white nationalism\u00a0– tweeted that\u00a0\u201cdiversity is not our strength\u201d on Friday, citing Hungary\u2019s hardline Prime Minister\u00a0Viktor Orban, who reportedly stated that\u00a0\u201cmixing cultures will not lead to a higher quality of life but a lower one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Diversity is not our strength. Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban, \u201cMixing cultures will not lead to a higher quality of life but a lower one.\u201d t.co\/ZlMXzcc87w<\/a><\/p>\n

December 8, 2017
\nKing, a congressman from Iowa, followed up by saying that\u00a0\u201cassimilation, not diversity, is our American strength.\u201d
\nAssimilation has become a dirty word to the multiculturalist Left. Assimilation, not diversity, is our American strength.
\nFellow tweeters erupted in anger over the posts.<\/p>\n

King came under similar fire in March after he\u00a0tweeted his support\u00a0of far-right Dutch politician Geert Wilders.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a sampling of the responses to his latest posts below:<\/p>\n

How are you employed, much less as a member of Congress?
\nJust a reminder that Viktor Orban is, explicitly and in his own words, opposed to liberal democracy t.co\/kMUO5TyHMv<\/a>
\nOther members of the Republican party have called Orban a “neo-fascist dictator” t.co\/5CHKCwtTrr<\/a> Steve King offers this… t.co\/BfaZmuw3Mg<\/a>
\nSomeone should break it to Steve King that he wouldn’t be around to say this ignorant shit if not for the diversity of America. t.co\/6OgaTxPBMB<\/a>
