No she’s not. Scalise went to the same building, 2 hours earlier, to a different room, organized by the same front man for neo-Nazi David Duke, had some of the same crowd in attendance, and received a $1000 donation from Knight who was the known front man for Duke.
You’re being told it’s not true because it wasn’t precisely the same meeting as Duke’s.
But it was the same nazi organizer and the same nazi people in the same building at roughly the same time.
“Reports that Louisiana Rep. Steve Scalise, the third-ranking Republican in the House, gave a speech to a group connected with white supremacist David Duke in 2002 are not accurate, the man who organized the events said Wednesday.
Kenny Knight, a longtime political adviser to Duke, told The Times-Picayune of New Orleans that Scalise spoke at a meeting of the Jefferson Heights Civic Association, not affiliated with the European-American Unity and Rights conference that was held in the same Metairie hotel two-and-a-half hours before the white nationalist event started.
Barbara Noble, who was dating Knight and said she attended the meeting, also said Wednesday that Scalise spoke to the civic group, not EURO, according to the paper.”
