I wonder who’s working to take down the House Whip?
“Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.), the House majority whip, acknowledged Monday that he spoke at a gathering hosted by white-supremacist leaders while serving as a state representative in 2002, thrusting a racial controversy into House Republican ranks days before the party assumes control of both congressional chambers.
Scalise, 49, who ascended to the House GOP’s third-ranking post this year, confirmed through an adviser that he once appeared at a convention of the European-American Unity and Rights Organization, or EURO. But the adviser said the congressman didn’t know at the time about the group’s affiliation with racists and neo-Nazi activists.
“For anyone to suggest that I was involved with a group like that is insulting and ludicrous,” Scalise told the Times-Picayune on Monday night. The organization, founded by former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke, has been called a hate group by several civil rights organizations.”.........
Good point. I’m so tired of this racial double standard. Scalise is a fool for even being anywhere near a group like that but it sickens me that the Congressional Black Caucus associates themselves with people like Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and Louis Farrakhan who are known anti-Semites, and of course that doesn’t matter. Then again Scalise is a Boehner lieutenant so is that really a big loss other than the left seizing on this to score cheap political points by branding the GOP as racists for the ninth billionth time?
This group may be a "hate group" but I couldn't tell it from the name, no more than I can tell that the DemonRAT African-American Caucus is a hate group, but they both are.
Scalise is not conservative/strong enough for me, {he talks a good game...but} so if he goes, I won't lose sleep.
I suspect he wants to clear out all the rivals for when Bonehead gets his big check from K street pals and sails off to Marco Island .
McCarthy is a ultimate evil hack.and power hungry monster. He sold out the Calif Gop during redistricting to spare his gerrymandered district.
His actions ensured the Ca Gop state house lost so many seats that the Dems radical agenda can not be blocked ever again.
