Too complicated. More likely a time- and money-saving event for his neighbor and some of the attendees. I think we're making way too much of this. We have actual communists in political office (deBlasio, a large number of Democrats and the entire Congressional Black Caucus), and we're worried about a peripheral association Scalise had with his neighbor's hobbyhorse? While we may not want to adopt the conservative equivalent of the left's "no enemies to the left (of us)", engaging in a witch hunt over something like this is excessive.
they are all socialist
