Washington (CNN) Rep. Steve King, whose history of making racist remarks has recently come under scrutiny, shared a Facebook post over the weekend that boasts red states would "win" a fight against blue states — and that they have "8 trillion bullets."

"Wonder who would win..." the Iowa Republican wrote in a post Saturday, adding an emoji with a smirk. Attached to the post is a photo depicting Democratic-leaning states engaged in a fight with Republican-leaning states. The photo's caption reads, "Folks keep talking about another civil war... One side has about 8 trillion bullets, while the other side doesn't know which bathroom to use," an apparent reference to Democrats' support of gender-neutral bathrooms.

Among the collection of states colored blue is King's home state of Iowa, which he has represented in Congress since 2003.

King's office did not immediately respond to CNN's request for comment. Later Monday, the post was removed from King's Facebook page.

The post came several days after President Donald Trump seemed to insinuate that his supporters -- the police, military and "Bikers for Trump," he claims -- could turn violent against Democrats.
