In an interview posted today by France 24, Iowa congressman and white nationalist Steve King praised Marine Le Pen, the neo-fascist French presidential candidate, as a great leader who will help stave off the destruction of Western civilization and the replacement of Christianity with Islam.

Le Pen, whose party “is awash with Hitler admirers and Holocaust-denying far-right nationalists,” advanced to the second round of the French presidential election after receiving the second-most votes in Sunday’s election.

King said that if France and other European countries fall due to immigration and Islam, “America could be next.” He predicted that Le Pen and President Trump, who has come close to endorsing Le Pen, “will become fast friends because they are birds of a feather.”
