Steve King Remains On IA Guv Campaign After 'Diversity Not Our Strength' Tweet

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds on Tuesday said she would keep U.S. Rep. Steve King involved in her gubernatorial campaign while condemning a comment he made on Twitter that criticized diversity.

Reynolds made her comments after Iowa Democrats called on her to drop King as a state co-chair in her campaign after he tweeted Friday, “Diversity is not our strength.” along with an article describing anti-immigration views from Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. The tweet included a comment that King attributed to Orban that says, “Mixing cultures will not lead to a higher quality of life but a lower one.”
