steve scalise is the one on the left here. the one on the right is ex-klu klux klan member who now admits to speaking to when he was a louisiana republican state rep. the reason the job has opened up is because eric canter, former house majority, was ousted by his own party in a primary this past year. eric canter is the highest ranking jewish republican ever in congress. and when he was forced out, he was the only jewish republican in either the house or the senate. the republicans have now decided to fill with a guy who is now only starting to apologize for his past association with a very anti-semitic neonazi name called david duke. there has not been a peep of revolt against steve scalise.
