Five years ago, James Watson, one of the fathers of DNA, tried to sell his Nobel Prize because people thought he was a racist.

Watson, who won the prize in 1962 for outlining the double-helix structure of DNA, wanted to offer penance for the comments that brought his reputation crashing down in 2007. That year, the scientist told Britain's Sunday Times that he was "gloomy about the prospect of Africa" because he believed African intelligence was genetically lower than that of Europeans. For years, Watson never lived the comments down, telling the Financial Times in 2014 that he believed the backlash over his comments had made him an "unperson."

But if he had been trying to change his reputation on the topic of race, on Friday it became apparent that the 90-year-old scientist hasn't done himself any favors this month. In "American Masters: Decoding Watson," a PBS documentary released Jan. 2, he revealed that his scientifically unsupported views on race and genetics have not changed "at all" since 2007 - leading the laboratory where he spent the bulk of his career to revoke his honorary titles.

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in Long Island issued the announcement Friday along with a searing rebuke of Watson, calling his beliefs "reprehensible" and "unsupported by science."

Representative Steve King of Iowa, who was stripped of his House committee seats on Monday night after making remarks defending white supremacy, has a long history of racist comments and insults about immigrants.

Republicans rarely rebuked him until recently, with some suggesting that Mr. King’s language and views were new to them.

While some Republicans suggested the Iowa congressman’s views were new to them, Mr. King has a long and documented history of denigrating racial minorities.
