In an exclusive interview with uPolitics, J.D. Scholten, who narrowly lost a 2018 election to Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) by three points, said that he is considering running again in 2020 and that he viewed the pro-white nationalist comments made by his former opponent “very frustrating.”

When asked by uPolitics about the comments supporting white nationalism that King had made this January year, Scholten responded, “It’s very frustrating to have somebody who’s so-called representing us so drastically different than what our district needs are. That’s his whole thing, he’s put his ideology and his, I mean, you can call him a lot of things, I call him selfish because he puts his ideology above representing us.”
