; Whereas King’s point about the increased frequency with which the weaponized term white nationalist has been injected into modern political dialogue is evident when data from a Lexis-Nexis News Database search is analyzed and we learn that White nationalist was virtually an unused term prior to 2016, and quickly surged to 31,057 usages in the year 2017; Whereas as King told Price, it has only been in the last year or two or three that the pejorative phrase white nationalist has gained purchase in the political debate as a weaponized term; Whereas a follow up New York Times story about Steve King entitled A Timeline of Steve King’s Racist Remarks and Divisive Actions was criticized by legendary journalist Brit Hume as being completely bogus . This completely bogus story was written the next day by the same writer, in the same paper, on the same general topic, and could possibly be revealing of a bias regarding Congressman King; Whereas the Congressional Record made the exact same error as the New York Times in transcribing King’s January 15, 2019, floor statement, when the transcriptionist left out a break between the words white supremacist and western civilization . Video shows King intentionally inserting a break between those words, but the transcript does not reflect this; Whereas no one believes the Congressional Record was acting with animus. But their error did reveal how either a similar error, or an intentional misplacement of punctuation, could have led to a botched quote in the Times. Remember, King has always disputed the quote as it was portrayed in the Times; Whereas King is insisting upon a correction in the Congressional Record so that it reflects the quote as he intentionally delivered it on the House floor. King’s correction reveals that he was attempting to separate Western Civilization from the other two pejorative terms
