Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) is not backing down from partially blaming former President Barack ObamaBarack ObamaIce Cube: Black community not high on Trump's priorities list Lawmakers unveil bill to set 355-ship Navy Defense bill would limit implementation of nuclear arms treaty with Russia MORE for theattack on Republican lawmakers at baseball practice last week.

The answer is no, King toldCNNonThursday whenasked if he regretted his comments.

King last weeklinked Obama to the shooting, saying he deepened the countrys political divisions by emphasizing "differences rather than our things that unify us." He said political division is what led someone to open fire on the Republican lawmakers.

King told CNN that he had made similar comments about Obama before, not just in the aftermath of the shooting.

He said Obama was elected in 2008 in a perfect position to heal the divisions in this country, but he failed in that regard.
