GOP lawmaker retweets prominent British neo-Nazi

BY BROOKE SEIPEL - 06/13/18 08:26 AM EDT

Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) on Wednesday retweeted a prominent far-right British activist who has described himself as a "Nazi sympathizer."

“Europe is waking up...Will America...in time?” King wrote in a quote tweet of Mark Collett, the former chairman of the youth division of the British National Party (BNP).

The original tweet was a screenshot of an article from Breitbart with the caption "65% of Italians under the age of 35 now oppose mass immigration."

HuffPost reports that Collett, a well-known far-right activist, has said in the past that he admires Adolf Hitler, and was the subject of a documentary called “Young, Nazi and Proud."
