The remarks were condemned by numerous groups and individuals, including Republican and Democratic candidates seeking to oust King, Democratic presidential candidates as well as the Iowa Republican Party and Rep.

Comparing the movie to his comments about abortion, King said,"It was an objectively honest and accurate statement but I think it was willfully misinterpreted."
