The Iowa representative says he understands what Jesus Christ “went through for us” because of criticism from Congress.
Republican Congressman Steve King said he better understands the persecution and suffering of Jesus Christ following the outcry over his white nationalism comments.
“And, when I have to step down to the floor of the House of Representatives, and look up at those 400-and-some accusers, you know we just passed through Easter and Christ's passion, and I have better insight into what He went through for us partly because of that experience." King was also stripped of all committee assignments by House Republicans in the wake of the interview.
King, who is a member of the Roman Catholic Church, also told the audience the U.S. is a Christian nation because of the strong moral values it holds and that its people are willing to confess to mistakes and ask for forgiveness.
