White supremacist and neo-Nazi sympathizer Steve King may have lost financial support from Intel, Land O’Lakes, and Purina over his radical views, but he’s still got his hardcore constituency in his corner, Media Matters finds:

In the October 30 edition of his show America First, white nationalist YouTuber Nick Fuentes took a break from an anti-Semitic rant to praise King for “talking about white genocide,” saying, “He retweets some of our guys, and he goes over to Austria, I believe it was, and he rubbed shoulders with some of our guys. I mean, he basically gets it, he knows what's going on.”

“He basically gets it” all right, because King is one of them, and to the full knowledge of complicit Republican leaders, who not only looked the other way while King has repeatedly retweeted neo-Nazis, but have given him floor votes, kept him on as a campaign co-chair, and kept him on numerous House committees.

Perhaps for not much longer, though. One recent poll has King’s Democratic challenger, J.D. Scholten, within one point of dethroning him, leading a panicked King to finally air the first ads of his campaign.
