An Iowa congressman known for making racist comments has asked Kamala Harris if she was descended from slave owners.
Republican Steve King, who has a long history of making offensive remarks about immigrants, questioned the vice-president-elect’s background on Twitter.
“I’m reading that @KamalaHarris made history as first woman, first black woman, first Asian woman, etc = a boatload of intersectionality points. But Kamala, are you descended from slaves or slave owners?” Tweeted Mr King on Sunday.

The racism must have been bubbling inside of him since the election.
