Well Steve King screwed us all over with this boneheaded answer to some angry liberal foaming at the mouth about diversity in the GOP.
Now everyone’s talking about it:
Steve King telling @chrislhayes white people have contributed more to civilization than other "sub-groups." Happy RNC!

This is not quite accurate – he pivoted away from white people and to “Western Civilization,” BUT he began talking about white people and “sub groups.” Not a good look:

Dude. C’mon. The answer to someone saying the GOP is all angry white people is NOT to say, “c’mon minorities are kinda dumb, aren’t they?!” Or at least, to answer in such a way that allows people to paint you as a racist. NO BUENO, Steve King, NO BUENO!!!
Can this convention get any worse?!? The answer is yes, we’re only on the first day.
