Wikipedia users took notice of Rep. Steve King (R-IA)'s claim Friday that he was as "Hispanic and Latino" as House and Urban Development Secretary Julian Castro, and the white, Iowan's Wikipedia page was altered to reflect his newfound identity.
Commenting on a quote by Castro criticizing the GOP for alienating hispanics, King tweeted, "What does Julian Castro know? Does he know that I'm as Hispanic and Latino as he?"
Not long after, his name on his Wikipedia page, normally Steven Arnold "Steve" King, was changed to Esteban Arnoldo "Arbo" Rey. Here is a screenshot, courtesy of Mediaite:
okay i got this short and sweet nailed this time, "ROFLMAO"!!!!!
King is a fierce opponent of offering undocumented immigrants a pathway to legalize their status. He's made controversial comments about Hispanic immigrants, such as suggesting that young immigrants are often drug smugglers with "calves the size of cantaloupes."
What does Julian Castro know? Does he know that I'm as Hispanic and Latino as he?
