Does giving a speech to a white supremacy group a dozen years ago disqualify a congressman from leadership?

Asked by elbanditoroso (33171points) December 30th, 2014

I’ve been reading about this guy Scalise from Louisiana who apparently spoke to a right wing white supremacist group about 12–13 years ago.

Scalise is saying that he didn’t know who his audience was and that he doesn’t support the group anyway.

My feeling: (and I am not a republican apologist!) and that this accusation and any connection are just too tenuous to worry about. There will be lots of people who have their own agendas and will want to make the guy resign his leadership position, but the facts are too murky for me.

What say you?
