now posting his terrible nazi drunken crayon scribblings is the same guy who wrote at storm front in 2002 about steve skalise. about seeing this up and coming rep speak at david duke s neonazi meeting. to this day, nobody has seen any photographs of steve skalise speaking to that white supremist group. but storm front, as an online sort of, you know, hate exchange, it still exists. and the storm front archives are searchable all the way back to when it was e it was founded. that contemporary yous reporting speaking to that white supremist group, that reporting on storm front, somebody saying that they ve seen him there, that s the seminal evidence that steve skalise, in fact, spoke to that
and, you know, again, it s a big part of being leadership. it is kind of tough to go to people and ask for money when you ve got a david duke albatross hanging around your neck. it doesn t sound good in any language, no matter how you said that. john stem, john, thank you very much: i appreciate you being here. good to be here. i will say, david duke, anybody in the news business knows, is one of those sort of fringe guys that really thrives on publicity. i think he has never not returned a press call. the press is what is his life blood. i don t know if there is congress that david duke might release more names, but this is a guy who loves to be in the news, who loves to have his name out there. if he can do that by drip, drip, dripping more names out there in response to the way skalise is being treated, i m sure he will. this story is not over by a long shot. we ll be right back.
congressional republicans are promoting the congressman with david duke ties to replace the one jewish republican member of congress who, again, was thrown out of congress by the republican party because he lost a primary among republican voters in his own district. the steve skalise defense here is ignorance. a series of statements, he said he had no idea of the the racist and antisell mettic relations of this white supremist group he was speaking to, he said basically the david duke connection just didn t pop for him. he didn t have enough staff, he didn t have the google, efble though google had been around for four years at that point. when all of this happens eed, it should be noted, it was not like david duke was hiding his white white light under a bush el. in 1989, he won a seat in the u.s. house of representatives. he served there from 1989 to
he ll be the house majority whip. bhiet so far, republican leadership seems to be standing by skalise. does the president feel that s appropriate? he believes it s their decision to make. but there is no there s no arguing that who republicans decide to el vat into a leadership position says a lot about what the conference s priorities and values are. i mean ultimately, mr. skalise reportedly described himself as david duke without the bag angerer. so it will be up to republicans to decide what that says about their conference. white house trying to put the republicans on the spot for this decision they ve made to keep steve skalise in the leadership. it s mornt to note at that moment that josh looks down as david duke without the baggage.
him. don t use it as blackmail. just make it public. nobody should have anything to worry about that list being disclosed. and if you have partisan concerns, aparentally, it would be a bipartisan group. and, honestly just as pure newsworthyiness newsworthiness, it would be a darn newsworthy thing to know. whoelgs has been courting the david duke win of white supreme supremacy. who else has done that? who else is on the list? that would be a newsworthy thing to know. it s newsworthy for steve skalise. we called david duke today to ask if he would release that information to us. we were told he was on the other line. he hantsn t called back yet. we remain hopeful that we will
