You did not catch the information: Knight, a Duke/KKK operative, and the organizer of the KKK event was a friend and neighbor of Scalise for a long time.
The so-called ‘civic event’ was ALSO organized by Knight. He scheduled both for the same day, at the same place, AND he invited members of the KKK event to the first, so-called ‘civic event’. It was all about building in plausible deniability.
Tell me that is accidental and that Scalise didn’t know what his close friend and neighbor stood for?
Now, we have John Boehner, the 2nd in line to the presidency, the Speaker of the House, an experienced politician with all the resources of the federal government at his disposal. This well-funded, well-resourced Boehner chooses as his Lieutenant a man who tried to concoct a plausible deniability scheme so he could get funding from some Duke supporters.
Boehner put Scalise in position anyway, despite all that.
Boehner needs to go.
I agree with your “Boehner needs to go” comment wholeheartedly.
However, I have read only that the KKK contingency wandered into the room early for coffee, not that they were invited.
Which version is right?
