EXCERPT:
POWERS: "Look, whenever he's given an opportunity to condemn racism, he chooses not to or he does the both sides, you know, find people on both sides or during the campaign. When the alt-right was saying all sorts things and being a huge supporter of his, he just declined to condemn them. And he doesn't condemn them because I think one of the questions that we should all be asking when we're talking about Steve King is really what’s the difference between him and Donald Trump. There’s not that much difference. I think that Steve King has been like this for a long time. You could ask the Republican Party why they’re now deciding he’s a problem. Have they evolved or are they just under pressure? Because he’s been talking about undocumented immigrants like they’re animals. He talked about putting electrified fence on the border, saying this is how we control livestock, so comparing them to livestock. So this is a much bigger problem for the Republican Party than just a few comments."
