Rep. Steve King (R-IA) declared at an event hosted by Americans For Tax Reform that members of the Obama administration would fail the United States citizenship test, due to their lack of belief in a capitalist economy.
“Even though there would be some people in the White House that would fail this test, if you look at the naturalization flash cards, if you want to become a naturalized American citizen…[the flashcard] will ask, ‘What is the economic system of the United States?’ Flip that flash card around, it says free enterprise, capitalist,” said King, CNSNews reports.
“I am not convinced that people in the White House understand it, let alone believe it, given some of the activities that we have seen,” King said.
