NEW: Rep. Steve King questions whether human populations would exist if not for rapes and incest that happened in families throughout history.
Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, questioned on Wednesday whether humanity would exist if not for the rapes and incest that happened throughout history.
“What if we went back through all the family trees and just pulled those people out that were products of rape and incest?," he said at a speech in Urbandale, Iowa."Would there be any population of the world left if we did that? Considering all the wars and all the rape and pillage that has taken place? And whatever happened to culture after society, I know that I can't certify that that I am not a part of the product of that.
King on Wednesday claimed political insiders told him there was a plot to get him out of office, including having President Donald Trump criticize him. But King said he met with Trump and there was"no signal from Donald Trump that he's anything other than supportive of me." The January comments led to multiple high-level Republicans denouncing his remarks and him being stripped of his committee assignments. Soon after, the House formally condemned white nationalism and white supremacy.
His comments on Wednesday drew backlash from a slew of prominent Democrats, including many of the 2020 presidential candidates.
