While defending his decision to speak at an even for a while nationalist group in 2002, Scalise explained that he had a policy of speaking to all groups at the time regardless of political views.
Scalise said he spoke at a League of Women Voters event and described the organization as “a pretty liberal group.”
But the League of Women Voters took issue with Scalise’s description.
“Representative Steve Scalise’s recent comments regarding the League of Women Voters were misinformed. We are committed to working for all voters regardless of their party affiliation,” LWV President Elisabeth MacNamara, said in a Tuesday statement. “We believe voters are the basis of our strong democracy, and we’re committed to making our government work for all citizens. We will continue to fight for inclusion and tolerance and are committed to Making Democracy Work®.”

Well then, you can see why a Republican politician would categorize them as being a bunch of extremist radicals with repugnant and potentially dangerous views.
“We will continue to fight for inclusion and tolerance and are committed to Making Democracy Work®.”
Not sure how anyone understands that as anything but “liberal talk” at this point. Voters show up = GOP loses. They know it and they’re fighting it every fucking day. The only people who seem mystified by it and unable to put it into action are liberals themselves.
“Heck. I’d even talk to the ACLJew if they sent me an invitation to speak.”
The LOWV don’t need to worry their pretty heads about anything…
The GOP enhanced congress will repeal as many voters’ rights as possible…
and BTW, your skirts are too short and you need to STFU so us white guys can start making deals with China for cheap burqas … or HobbyLobby can supply cheap Chinese fabrics AND patterns for y’all to make your own!
As I recall, the LOWV is technically nonpartisan. When I read this bit last evening, I thought the episode would evolve from cluster f’ to cluster bomb blow back.
