Scalise must be pressured to resign [View all]

If the Democratic Party can't stand up to someone who spoke at a KKK Rally, then we have no hope for winning anything in the future.

It doesn't matter how long ago it occurred, it is unacceptable.

There needs to be a mass effort to put pressure on this fucker!
