    During a forum with Iowa business leaders Thursday, the eight-term Iowa congressman said a Washington Post story this month wrongly characterized his August meeting in Austria as being with the far-right Freedom Party, a group with Nazi ties.

    King says the meeting was with business leaders, including one with Freedom Party affiliation.

    Washington Post officials say they stand by the story.

    The chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee condemned King on Tuesday. Corporate backers have also withdrawn their support for him.

    King, from Republican-heavy northwest Iowa, faces a competitive challenge from Democrat J.D. Scholten.

    DENY? This nazi dog is a real hoont. Too bad all his racist & antisemitic ads, speeches and interviews are on Google, YouTube and social media. Mew Fuhrer Trumpf also denies his racist rants, tweets and lies but he can’t hide from the web and videotape. Like ‘infowars’ where nazi aleck jones says the Pitt Pogrom.is a fake, done by actors! This is America in the dark era of rasha trumpf. FEH! RESIST THE RASHA!

    If Iowa elects him, Jews whether Republican or Democrat should boycott the state. Then again, it’s hard to boycott corn, soybeans and ethanol.
