Who will be the first to apologize for meeting with Barack Obama?

How many different clowns have spoken in front of La Raza as well...Jeb Bush, George W. Bush, Rick Perry, John McCain...
I heard reports earlier today that scalise was not addressing a kkk group but was in the same conference room speaking to other folk prior to the kkk group using the same room later in the day.

Possibly Scalise is so confused that he apologized for a meeting he never even attended.
