Scalise says Trump's Ukraine quid pro quo was about Hillary's emails

Steve Scalise rehashed a debunked conspiracy theory to defend Trump's actions at a recent pro-Trump rally.

Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA), the second-highest-ranking Republican in the House and a key Donald Trump ally, embraced a conspiracy theory espoused by Trump and Fox News at a rally on Thursday.

Speaking at the pro-Trump event outside the Capitol, Scalise regurgitated the conspiracy while defending Trump against impeachment.

According to Scalise, Trump asked the president of Ukraine to "help us investigate what happened in that 2016 election."

What the corporate owned journos call, “rhetoric.”

even if the quo didn't exist, the fact that there was a quid of any kind is the problem for Trump.
