Tea Party Congressman Steve King Compares Embattled GOP Whip 2 Jesus Christ

http://www.politicususa.com/2014/12/30/tea-party-congressman-steve-king-compares-embattled-gop-whip-jesus-christ.html


OMG...get out of my government you stupid and childish, thieving and racist asshole!





House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) is currently dealing with a scandal over his appearance at a white supremacist conference in 2002. Scalise, then a state representative in Louisiana, was invited by the European-American Unity and Rights Organization, founded by former KKK leader David Duke, to appear at the conference and speak. Scalise has not denied that he spoke at the convention. However, he has claimed that he was fully unaware of the convention’s purpose or that EURO is a white nationalist group, stating that at the time he met with any group that invited him to speak.

“Jesus dined with tax collectors and sinners. It’s not the healthy who need a doctor, it’s the sick. Given that piece of Scripture, and understanding that Scalise probably wasn’t staffed thoroughly, I could understand how something like this happened. But I know his heart, I’ve painted houses with him post-Katrina, and I know he is a good man.”

3. That's one of the more desperate spin attempts I've seen.

So is King saying that Scalise spoke as an attempt to make them see the error of their ways? Somehow I doubt that.

you have to say in public that you are definitely not a racist, and so say all my not racist at all friends.

We painted houses together post-Katrina is like saying we have black friends so we can not be racist.
