There’s an article in Human Events that says this never happened.

It did happen. Read post #2
This does not surprise me. I remember once being threatened by an activist who said very matter-of-factly that he would lie to people I dealt with to destroy me if I didn’t knuckle under. I’m just an average schmo, I had just met this corner office wannabe, and it was so random and incredibly trivial. Potomac fever is all I can say. I danced a very enthusiastic happy dance when his guy lost :)
Yes, but ... it is clear that Scalise was dealing with neo-nazi Knight who was in with Duke.
So the damage control that ‘Scalise wasn’t there’ fails.
