Rep. King compares criticism of him to persecution of Christ
CHEROKEE, Iowa (AP) — Iowa Republican Steve King says the criticism he has faced from fellow members of Congress over his offensive remarks gives him “better insight” into what Jesus Christ experienced when he was persecuted for his beliefs.
King was attending a town hall meeting Tuesday in his home district in northwest Iowa when someone attending voiced concern about Christianity being persecuted in the U.S., the Sioux City Journal reported . King answered, in part, by drawing a comparison to facing his “accusers” on the House floor.
=============================================
Comparing the criticism of him for his racist views to the persecution of Jesus before his crucifixion has to be some kind of sick joke aimed at his Fundamentalist/Evangelical supporters.
