Wow, this guy sounds disgusting! And conservatives wonder why their party attracts so many racists! It starts with their leadership!!!

In newly uncovered documents and Internet postings it is alleged that Scalise, while a member of the Louisiana House of Representatives in 2002, spoke at an international conference of the European-American Unity and Rights Organization headed by Nazi and former Klan leader David Duke.

OP, you funny guy!

The European-American Unity and Rights Organization is a "racist" organization??? Sure, just like the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is. And any pol that would meet with them, or Al Sharpton is also a disgusting racist.

He didn't know this was David Duke's Organization

Still I have to wonder why this happened in 2002 and is just coming out now.

Byrd was a registered Democrat, but his ideology was to the right of Ted Cruz.
