Republican Rep. Steve King of Iowa questioned on Wednesday whether there would be any population left on Earth if not for rape and incest.

“What if we went back through all the family trees and just pulled those people out that were products of rape and incest? Would there be any population of the world left if we did that?” he said in Urbandale, Iowa, according to video posted online by the Des Moines Register, which was first to report on the remarks Wednesday.

“Considering all the wars and all the rape and pillage that has taken place … I know I can’t certify that I was not a part of a product of that,” King
said. “I’d like to think that every one of the lives of us are as precious as any other life,” he added.

The remarks came as King was defending not allowing exceptions for abortion in cases of rape or incest.

The Iowa Republican is a controversial and polarizing figure on Capitol Hill who has a track record of making racist comments that have generated backlash across the political spectrum.

In January, House Republicans stripped King of committee assignments, an action that took place after an interview in which he appeared to lament that the term “white supremacist” is considered offensive.

CNN has reached out to King’s office for comment, but did not immediately receive a response.

The remarks quickly generated condemnation from Democrats, including JD Scholten, who announced earlier this month that he will once again try to unseat King by running against him in 2020.

In response to the comments, Scholten, who unsuccessfully ran against King in 2018, said the Iowa Republican is pushing a “selfish agenda,” and accused him of excusing violence.

“Our congressman continues to push his selfish agenda above the needs of #IA04 – this time he excuses violence. This isn’t what we stand for,” the Democratic challenger wrote, including a link to a fundraising page with the message.

King also faces a GOP primary before he gets to the general election.

One of primary challengers, Iowa state Sen. Randy Feenstra, called the comments “bizarre” in a statement on Wednesday.

“I am 100% pro-life but Congressman King’s bizarre comments and behavior diminish our message and damage our cause,” he said, adding, “We can’t afford to hand the 4th District to Nancy Pelosi and her allies in Congress. President Trump needs defenders in Congress, not distractions.”

Democratic presidential candidates were quick to denounce the congressman too, with New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand calling for his resignation.

“You are a disgrace. Resign,” Gillibrand tweeted at King on Wednesday.

“My friend @JDScholten is standing up and fighting back against Steve King, and he needs all of our help,” Beto O’Rourke tweeted, "because no matter where you live, you know there’s no place for Steve King’s racism, bigotry, and hatred in Congress.

“Iowans have long deserved better than Steve King and his hateful, insulting words. He should resign,” tweeted Democratic Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey.

Amusing

Those Trumpeters are crazy…Check this one out:

Ken Cuccinelli presented a very narrow view of who has a legitimate right to be a U.S. citizen on Tuesday, as he attempted to justify the administration’s new public charge rule for immigrants.
Cuccinelli, the xenophobic former Republican attorney general of Virginia, was interviewed on NPR’s Morning Edition and was asked to discuss the administration’s new public charge policy, which discriminates against legal immigrants deemed likely to need public assistance based on their health and monetary needs. The acting USCIS chief told the host that immigration is a “privilege” for those “who can stand on their own two feet.”

When pressed on the point, Cuccinelli, who once compared immigrants to rats in a 2012 radio interview, reiterated, “It is a privilege to become an American, not a right, for anyone who is not already an American citizen.”
Under Cuccinelli’s stated definition of who has a right to citizenship, a host of current elected and appointed officials are excluded.
Cruz, the junior senator from Texas, was born in Calgary, Canada, to a mother who was an American citizen. As a result, Cruz was eligible for both U.S. and Canadian citizenship (which he renounced in 2014). Cuccinelli previously endorsed Cruz for the presidency over Trump in the 2016 presidential primary.

Well according to the Bible and Quran, humanity was propagated through incest (After all, Adam’s children married each other) and rape(starting with Noah, then Lot). Or did you guys skip Genesis???
