The GOP has shown again and again they don't care about our veterans

Scalise voted NO on:

VA Employee Fairness Act
Veteran Service Recognition Act
PACT Act (twice)
Equal Access to Contraception for Veterans Act
Ensuring Veterans Smooth Transition Act https://t.co/Y7hSaAieVq

Democratic class vs. GOP cruelty

When I came down with cancer, my Caucus colleagues rallied around to support me as Ranking Dem on Oversight. I’m dumbfounded that GOP Members (& Trump!) used Steve Scalise’s cancer as a reason to abandon him on the House floor—after nominating him for the job!

Nothing but the best for the GOP

So, let me get this straight. The two top contenders for McCarthy’s spot are either 1) the guy who covered up cases of molestation while an assistant wrestling coach or 2) the guy who said he is David Duke of the KKK but without the baggage? Got it.

Jellyfish spine

Every day reporters should be hounding Scalise to answer for why he lied about Pelosi's role in trying to quell the violence on Jan. 6. Every time they ask a question they should ask, why should we believe you since you lied for months.

Do not pass go

Once again, the republican party is doing all it can to come to the rescue of the Democratic Party....

Thanks to John Boehner who today gave a pass to Rep. Steve Scalise, the republican whip and #3 leader in the House, for speaking before a hate group, European-American Unity and Rights Organization (its founder is former Klansman David Duke), in 2002.  Boehner called it an "error in judgment."

An extra-marital affair might be an error in judgment.  Hiring a staffer who is involved in some sort of corruption might be an error in judgment.  Losing one's temper and dropping an f bomb in a public forum might be an error in judgment.  Having a few too many and howling at the moon in front of a local reporter might be an error in judgment.

But speaking before a hate group?  Fucking please--Scalise is either so craven for votes that he sold his soul to a group of white supremacists, or (as we're being lead to believe) he's so stupid as to not have vetted a David Duke group before speaking to them.

Either way, it's a piss poor start for republicans and it probably only gets worse for them from here on out.
