Incoming Rep. Mia Love (R-UT) on Sunday said that House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) should remain in Republican leadership despite recent reports that he spoke at an event for a white nationalist group in 2002.
“These groups are awful. And the last thing I want to do is give them any sort of publicity or credibility, and I can say, as far as I’m concerned, with Representative Scalise, he has been absolutely wonderful to work with,” Love said on ABC’s “This Week.”
When asked if Scalise should remain as GOP whip, Love indicated that his apology was enough.
“There’s one quality that he has that I think is very important in leadership and that’s humility. And he’s actually shown that in this case. And he’s apologized, and I think that we need to move on and get the work of the American people done,” she said.
Sure, Mia. If it is a Republican, a quick apology should remove the “event” from the nation’s consciousness. If it is a Democrat, however, even nonevents (i.e. Benghazi) should remain in the headlines for all eternity. And let’s resurrect the Monica Lewinsky scandal to try and taint Hillary Clinton if she runs, right?
Don’t forget Whitewater!
And if the President says he was born in Hawaii, well…
She’s part of the problem.
it is fortunate that the GOP has a person of color to cover these little racial kerfuffles, those white sheets were appearing tacky.
The Haitian American Black Woman from Mormonland has a vested interest in wanting to move on from hate speech. Depending on their mood, The Hate Party’s next target could be her.
