Rep. Steve Scalise (R-La.), the newly elected House majority whip, acknowledged Monday that he spoke at a gathering hosted by white nationalist leaders while serving as a state representative in 2002, thrusting a racial controversy into House Republican ranks days before the party assumes control of both congressional chambers.

The 48-year-old Scalise, who ascended to the House GOP’s third-ranking post earlier this year, confirmed through an adviser that he once appeared at a convention of the European-American Unity and Rights Organization.

That organization, founded by former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke

The resulting online response should produce a list of people to unfollow/block who don't see a problem with "white pride" groups.

This of course will make him more popular with the republican "base"

Is the dead horse Republicans feigning interest is a socially broad base? Republicans supporting racist organizations or people criticizing them for supporting racist organizations?
