Brit Hume: Racism charge against Steve King ‘bogus’ WND January 17, 2019 Republican Rep. Steve King’s remarks on race in a New York Times story were “too close for comfort,” but the paper’s charge that previous statements by the Iowa congressman were “racist” is “completely bogus,” said Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume Tuesday night.
