An American congressman has has sparked outrage by condemning “diversity”.

Republican Steve King – who has previously lauded white nationalism – tweeted that “diversity is not our strength” on Friday, citing Hungary’s hardline Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who reportedly stated that “mixing cultures will not lead to a higher quality of life but a lower one.”

King, a congressman from Iowa, followed up by saying that “assimilation, not diversity, is our American strength.”
Assimilation has become a dirty word to the multiculturalist Left. Assimilation, not diversity, is our American strength.
Fellow tweeters erupted in anger over the posts.

King came under similar fire in March after he tweeted his support of far-right Dutch politician Geert Wilders.

Here’s a sampling of the responses to his latest posts below:

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