The House Majority Whip Spoke At a White Supremacist Conference

"I didn't know..." Yeah! Right! His staff doesn't vet!

We're having trouble with this one.

House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (LA) has admitted to being featured as a speaker at a conference of the European-American Unity and Rights Organization (EURO)--a white supremacist group run by former KKK Grand Wizard David Duke. As Majority Whip, Scalise is the third most powerful congressman in the House of Representatives. So how does he still have his job?

Scalise has voted against making Martin Luther King Day a state holiday twice. He has also claimed that he didn't know the white supremacist conference he was attended had a hateful agenda. But experts call these claims extremely dubious.

The Southern Poverty Law Center identifies EURO as a well-known "hate group led by America's most famous white supremacist". Along with USA Today and the Chicago Tribune, they have called on Scalise to resign. We agree.

 Tell Representative Steve Scalise his actions are offensive. It's time to resign!
