Rep. Steve King (R-IA) said the late Andrew Breitbart would have been “delighted” with the turnout for the D.C. March for Jobs rally and would have been “reveling” in the march if he had been alive. 

King said the rally was “bursting form the heart of Americanism” and said he was “honored and privileged” to address the rally. He said the late Breitbart would have loved seeing minority conservatives unite with progressives and working class Americans with a common goal–opposing the Senate’s immigration bill that would drastically reduce wages for working class Americans and make it harder for unemployed Americans to find jobs. 

King said he would fiercely oppose the immigration bill that he believed was wrong for the country on so many levels.
