Possibly, but it may not be easy to believe that a politician would be that determined to speak to racialists or that they'd be that determined to hear him More here.

Going through all that deception and subterfuge to talk to a small group looks like too complicated a story. Was Scalise really that desperate to get a speaker's fee or to get his message out to another 18 people?

Given how chaotic and scandalous Louisiana politics can be, I wouldn't jump to any conclusions at this point about what was going on.

Duke controlled a lot of votes in Louisiana at that time.

Also, Knight is Scalise’s friend and neighbor.
