I think the members of the congressional black caucus and hispanic caucus should resign.

Lol....once again the left wins the political battle. Whether he did or didn’t, doesn’t matter. What’s done is done. Robert KKK Byrd can have a past as a grand wizard of the KKK, but he “changed”. The left will ALWAYS win the war of the public, because the right has NO CLUE how to wage political war. Once again, the right is fighting from the defensive position, which is the losing position in a political war.

Let me see...hmmmm... what president has that race-baiting scoundrel, Al Sharpton, as a close advisor? Gee whiz boys and girls, that wouldn’t that DEMOCRAT King Barack would it?

No wonder Scalise didn’t remember the meeting. It turns out he didn’t actually meet with the group that he is accused of meeting with.

Thanks for the link.

It is pretty pathetic if it is meant to be an excuse of exculpatory.

Scalise is a Boner ally and leadership team player.

He needs to go.

Hopefully thins can help to take down Boner.

This is a nice vehicle to drive him out of town on.

GOPe nonsense like the article you linked to notwithstanding.

Once again, this debunked story was not only supposed to take place 12 (twelve) years ago but is a total leftwing lie spurred by the thrashing the dimocRATs took at the polls last month. The libs are grasping at straws (and strawmen like Colmes) to rally the troops by any and all means regardless of the documented facts.

Tuesday afternoon, House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-Louisiana, issued a statement apologizing for his appearance twelve years ago at a white supremacist event, saying, “It was a mistake I regret, and I emphatically oppose the divisive racial and religious views groups like these hold. I am very disappointed that anyone would try to infer otherwise for political gain.”

So the thing to do is just hang him based on the seriousness of the charge, not the truth of the charge. Go back to your cave, troll.
