Foreword by Michelle Malkin

Never before, in my nearly thirty years as a conservative journalist and proud American, have the forces of evil converged so insidiously to sabotage our freedoms and destroy our great country. Big Tech, Big Pharma, Big Business, Big Media, and Big Government are all working together to tear down the pillars of our sovereignty. It’s not a “conspiracy theory.” It’s the truth.

The radical Left is, and always has been, out to Cancel America. It’s a perpetual campaign waged on a mountain of lies. Cultural Marxists have nurtured generations of aggrieved young minds to believe these falsehoods to be self-evident: that all white people are inherently “privileged,” all black people are inherently oppressed, the police are an irredeemably racist and oppressive force, and America is an incorrigibly racist, sexist, fill-in-the-blank-phobic nation in need of transformative dismantling and reimagining.

Throughout his life, Steve King has battled valiantly against all these forces of evil. I’ve been blessed to know him and stand beside him on the issues that matter most—our families, our faith, our history, and our borders. He speaks unapologetically about America’s enemies, who will not rest until the foundations and monuments of Western Civilization crumble. Like me, Steve has been called every ad hominem and slur in the Alinskyite playbook for his vigilant defense of America—racist, nativist, homophobe, anti-Semite, white supremacist, bigot, wash, rinse, and repeat.

I call Steve an American patriot—a man of great faith, unassailable character, and unwavering grace. He championed strict immigration enforcement for years before President Trump embraced the agenda. And as Steve points out, “Trump did indeed adopt many of my policies, including the building of a wall, the ending of birthright citizenship, the rejection of sanctuary cities, and even some of the more specific policies like basing congressional redistricting on the population of documented citizens.”

Walking Through the Fire recounts Steve King’s life story, from his family-centered Midwestern upbringing to his grass-roots political campaign, to his championing of traditional values andAmerica First nationalism. In this candid and invaluable memoir, King calls out the race baiters, media liars, Democrat defamers, and RINO smear merchants who work together to cancel defenders of Western Civilization.

In a world of phonies and cowards, Steve King is the real deal of integrity and courage. If you want to know what a modern “Horatius at the Gate” looks like, this book vividly paints that portrait for you and hopefully for the generations in your wake!
