The Steve Scalise story broke when a political blogger from Louisiana pointed out that the House Majority Whip spoke to an openly white supremacist group back in 2002. While Scalise apologized, his excuses just don’t add up. I don’t think someone who spoke to a group of David Duke white supremacists should be given one of the top slots in the Republican leadership. (As a political cartoonist, however, I should encourage that sort of thing.)
Sure, things were different then. Louisiana politics were of a different time and all that. But 2002 really wasn’t that long ago— particularly when you factor in Scalise’s vote in 2004 to block the Martin Luther King holiday (one of only 6 votes against to 90 votes in favor in the Louisiana House). Is this really the best the Republicans can do for a top leadership position? Enjoy the cartoon, send it along to your friends, enemies and old racist uncle!
this cartoon animation i think if he Scalise decided to tell the truth that he knew damn well where he was and who he was speaking to it would verbatim. guys like him make their bones with the gun totin' Bible clingin' bas of the republican party, but lie he must because the tide has changed and he can only remember those good ol days with the rest of the good ol boyz in the back room with a cuban cigar and a jug of corn sqeezin's.
