Washington Times - n late 2006, King objected to then-Iowa Secretary of State and Gov.-elect Chet Culver’s posting of voter registration forms in Spanish, Laotian, Vietnamese and Bosnian online. King said in a letter to Culver that, “Our official elections take place in English so that there is no confusion and less corruption.” King later joined other anti-immigration hardliners in suing Culver, alleging his actions violated the state’s official English-language law, which was authored by King.
- In March 2008, King made remarks about Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama’s middle name of Hussein, saying that if Obama were elected, “radical Islamists, the al-Qaida, the radical Islamists and their supporters, will be dancing in the streets in greater numbers than they did on September 11.”
- In a House floor speech on June 2010, King defended racial profiling as an important component of law enforcement, saying, “Profiling has always been an important component of legitimate law enforcement. If you can’t profile someone, you can’t use those common sense indicators that are before your very eyes.”
- Also in June 2010, King argued that President Barack Obama favored blacks over whites, saying Obama “has a default mechanism in him that breaks down the side of race on the side that favors the black person.”
