Steve Scalise is an absolute POS

Watching him on C-SPAN trying to claim that a 5 billion wall is necessary, using a few cited cases of hispanics with "no remorse" who murdered US Citizens as justification for 5 billion dollars. Hell I'm sure it will be more like 100 billion, especially after they finish paying Oleg Deripaska for his steel. And after Individual 1 skims his share right off the top.

So what about the tens of thousands killed by non-hispanics in this country? Do we build a wall around every white gun owner in the U.S?

Yesterday I watched this same POS talk over the intelligent questions by a CNN commentator, not giving a chance for reasonable questions to be asked or answered, crying on national television about the few who have been killed by Spanish people who crossed the border. But I suppose when white guys kill dozens at a time here, as long as they are white he's just fine with that. Even when he is a victim of another white guy.

I'm just as pissed off at CNN for 1) Allowing him to lie, cry and carry on, on national TV and 2) Having him on in the first place knowing all he will do is lie. It's just for sensationalism.

Whites killing fellow citizens by the thousands is good. People of color killing a few white people is bad. That's the message.

It is hard to imagine that a man who survived such a horrific experience would not have have changed and become more honest.

I hoped that his ordeal would make him a better person. But he walked into the House, barely walking on crutches, to visciously attack health care for poor Americans. The immoral bastard has not looked back since.

Most are still playing "both sides do it" to maintain their viewership.

we turned TV off 10 years ago because of the lies and the ads. Best decision we ever made.

would definitely argue that water is dry as a bone if it somehow suited their KGOP agenda.

On CSPAN after Scalise, King got up there and talked about how he was tired of being referred to as a Nazi or a racist.

Wish I could be there to tell him the shoe fits and he needs to wear it.

survive and beat oral and throat cancer. It was a miracle, because he was stage 4 + and his prognosis was very poor. 5% survival rate they told him.

How did he celebrate? Went right back to smoking and drinking.

This guy Scalise is just as stupid.
