i like chris hayes but he punted that one when he should have gone for it instead
the woman on his left had a lot you could see she wanted to say in response
buy hayes played it safe and ended the convo
as an audience member, that was our loss
Judging by Hayes' tweets, it seems he regretted not taking King on. I hope someone else challenges him on it.
Holy crap - is there a video you can link to or embed in this thread?
I have no problem believing Steve King could say something like that, or worse. I would love to see it though, so I can pass it on to a few national GOP officials that owe me a favor or two.
We need to kick that guy to the curb, and fast. This type of thing could give the GOP the excuse they need.
He was probably stunned and still processing it as a "WTF did he just say?"
Here's the video:

Steve King is easily the most ignorant person in Congress. He makes Louie Gohmert look like Maya Angelou.
If I was Chris Hayes I would've went off on him.
I watched this trainwreck live, and he was lucky he quipped that just as the segment was ending and they were heading to break.Congressman Steve King just embarrassed himself on MSNBC after pontificating: "Go back through history and think about where are these contributions that have been made by these other categories of people you are talking about. Where did any other sub-group of people contribute more to civilization [than white people]?"
Of course, the host and his other guests were taken aback. He promptly decided to move on from that potential firestorm (although he seems to regret doing that now). Really wish they would have gone ahead and debated it to see how far King would go.
Ignoring the fact that this was just not an appropriate subject to discuss, apparently Rep. King has never studied history before the 14th century.
Yes, I agree!i like chris hayes but he punted that one when he should have gone for it instead

Exactly.Amazing how ignorant King is. Must be why he's a republican. Mesopotamia (Iraq), and farther east, China, were contributing very important things to culture long before Europe was digging out of the dirt. We owe the alphabet, numbers, mathematics, and the forerunner to astronomy to the Mesopotamia. Many other things too.

Guess you never heard of Shelia Jackson Lee. She makes King look like a Rhodes scholar.
Guess you never heard of "I really don't care about a thing you have to say."

He forgot where he was. He can get away with that crap in his tea-party circles, but no way on MSNBC. He was greeted with incongruous laughter all around, segueing into immediate unanimous loud & excited rebuttal! Too bad the segment ended - he needed his ass handed him.
