(VIDEO) Iowa Congressman Steve King's Advice to Iowa State Students: Avoid Multicultural Groups

Avoid multicultural groups which teach you to feel sorry for yourselves, King says.

Iowa Congressman Steve King said at a town hall meeting in Le Mars that he wished that every college student could know before they arrive to campus that they might be sucked into joining multicultural groups that “feel sorry for themselves."

King said that after giving a speech on campus years ago, he did a search and discovered 59 multicultural groups on campus.

“It started with Asians and it ended with Zeitgeist, so from A to Z, and most of them were victims' groups, victimology, people that feel sorry for themselves and they're out there recruiting our young people to be part of the group that feels sorry for themselves. “

That campus is about as good as it gets as far as a regents institution, he said.

He went on to say that multicultural groups were rooted in communism and designed to overthrow the establishment.
