Poor Scalise is wounded by false narrative (poor baby)

House Majority Whip Steve Scalise said he was “frustrated” and “hurt” by the media coverage of his speech to a white supremacist group, arguing his past work helping African-Americans in New Orleans was deliberately ignored.

“When you get into this line of work, you’re in public office, you expect you’re gonna have cheap shots taken at you. That’s part of the process,” the Louisiana Republican said.

“The thing that probably frustrated me and hurt me the most was when there were inaccurate stories written about me or stories that were written that were trying to imply or infer things that weren’t true.”

A few gestures like supporting VRA and having gone to Selma this year (not next) rather than going to a AEI's secret meeting would have help fight the "false" narrative.

1. Narratives as false as those promulgated by white supremacists?

Such a sad tale of injustice.

2. What a fucking liar, all these GOPukers are so full of shit it is coming out their ears!

He's not hurt or frustrated! He knows what to say, but I promise you the asshole also feels delighted about the KKK and NRA.

Cheap shots? How can it be a cheap shot if you were caught on camera asshole!?

I swear, some of the most worthless people in American history reside in positions of power and are unfit to be in charge of anything bigger than a matchbox.

4. But mostly from their mouths!!

And a matchbox in the wrong hands is equally as dangerous. How about the should be in control of nothing more than their meaningless existences?

As for this overpaid shill...

3. What did Lady MacBeth say?

"Here’s the smell of the blood still. All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand. Oh, Oh, Oh!"
- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 1, Page 3

He's still carrying on about all those perfumes of Arabia, 'eh? You can't hide from what you did, and what you were, and what many of us suspect you still are, dude.

5. Ah I spot the black friend defense..

I'm not racist because a black legislator vouched for me and I coached some black kids. This is the type of guy who thinks "credit to his race" is a compliment and any discussion of privilege is being overly PC.

Anyone who buys this 'not a racist' bullshit is gullible as hell.

Everyone in the district and their dog knew about David Duke and EURO. And his neighbor, the one who invited him to the conference, was a EURO official. District 1 is a white hood friendly area.

Scalise was pandering to his base (and I do mean base).

It's not inaccurate to figure out that someone comfortable enough to address a white supremacist conference in a serious fashion and vote against MLK day is harboring at least some animosity towards non-white people.
