The White House says whether Louisiana Rep. Steve Scalise keeps his House Republican leadership position “says a lot about who they are.”
Scalise has been under fire over revelations that he gave a speech to a white supremacist group 12 years ago.
Scalise is the third-ranking Republican in the House. Several members of his party say they are supporting him after he said he regrets giving the speech.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest says it’s up to Republicans to decide whether he retains his position and what that says about their conference. But Earnest says who is in their leadership “says a lot about who they are, what their values are and what the priorities of the conference should be.”

The chaleriya Barack Hussein Obama hung out with unrepentant terrorists for many years. That says a lot of who he is!
Let’s not forget Barack Hussein Obama hung out listening to the uber racist Jeremiah Wright yemach sh’mo for many years. That tells us who Barack Hussein Obama is!
Let’s not let one speech get in the way of what a person really is especially when he has people of color standing up for him.
Where were the libs when Robert KKK Byrd, a Klansman, was running the Senate? Didn’t care then, why care now? Oh, right I forgot he’s a Republican.
If this guy couldn’t tell from the name of the group that they were “white supremacist Euro-trash” who were also major anti-semitim, than he is obviously stupid enough to be entitled to hold a leadership position for the Republicans in the House. There are only 3 options.
1. He is stupid;
2. He is a racist; or
3. he is a stupid racist
And thank you Reb Levin for confirming what we expected to hear from the usual cadre of Obama haters.
Hugo Black, a senator who was appointed by FDR to the U.S. Supreme Court, was an active member of the Ku Klux Klan, frequently giving anti-Catholic speeches at Klan meetings! Hmmm, and he was a Democrat…
Clinton and Obamba as presidents say a lot about Democrats!
No??
When in a glass palace don’t throw stones.
#3 – there was alot of flap about Hugo Black’s appointment. BTW he turned out to be one of the most liberal justices in history.
#4- Presidents Clinton and Obama speak proudly about who the Democrats are. They will be remembered as 2 of our greatest presidents.
