As long as a narrative advances an agenda the facts can take a hike. The new lickspittles of the ruling class.

Wait, I thought it was shown Scalise did not speak to a White Supremacist group.

He spoke to a group of senior citizens just before there was the meeting of the white supremacists. Supposedly the same guy organized both meetings. So some say he is guilty of, well...something.

That should be the meme! Whenever Scalise’s name is mentioned post a picture of Robert Byrd.

If you have racist friends, should you be kicked out of your job over that?

BTW, even obola has racist friends. I don’t hear bruhaha over that.

Yes, when you are a US Congressman representing ALL the people. You see no issue with paling around with a Klanner? You are the company you keep.

I’m not defending them. I want to know the facts.

Funny that you mention representation. I don’t hear people he represents asking for his head. If they want him punished, they can certainly vote them out.

Exactly right question!

I hope there are not this many GOPe defenders here. I’ll assume they are not unlike the dems in defending any of their kin, even remote ones no matter how scummy.

The problem is, to get shed of Boner will require undercutting his close support, even with an R by their name. Boenher did not get to the level he is by being as stupid as we wrongly assume. He knows how to fight and apparently knows how to influence his staunch detractors into help defend him.

Maybe cause this a fake scandal being pushed by the liberal media and race-baiting swine.

...as the party aimed to move past the controversy over his speech 12 years ago to a white supremacist group.

Scalise is a stupid, Boner-backed RINO. Therefore, he should quit.

Boehner never had our back, so we won’t have his.

**************

Even Boehner deserves to be protected against leftist lies. If the left gets away with this, they are not going to stop with him.

I support Scalise for other reasons, but I haven’t seen any indication that Mia Love will do anything except vote mostly with leadership.

What brings this back four years later?

Back in 2015, nobody had an inkling that Scalise was going to be shot by the left too.
