Iowa Republican Rep. Steve King followed up one controversial position with perhaps an even greater one Monday, telling an Iowa radio host that "Hispanics and the blacks will be fighting each other before" whites become a majority-minority in the U.S.

A guest on "The Jan Mickelson Show" on WHO Radio in Des Moines, the Congressman was asked if there was anything about his tweets over the weekend he would change when he said "we can't restore our civilization with someone else's babies."

King said, "not at all, Jan."

He went on, rebuking Univision anchor Jorge Ramos for telling Fox News his belief that whites will become a majority-minority by 2044.

"Their effort is to be celebrating because the United States is moving toward whites becoming a minority, be it a majority-minority within the country, according to their plans," King told Mickelson. "But what are they after? What is their utopia? They're dividing people, they're pitting people against each other.

"Jorge Ramos' stock in trade is identifying and trying to drive wedges between race. Race and ethnicity, I should say to be more correct. When you start accentuating the differences, then you end up with people that are at each other's throats," King said.

"And he's adding up Hispanics and blacks into what he predicts will be in greater number than whites in America. I will predict that Hispanics and the blacks will be fighting each other before that happens," King said.
