Scalise Plays Dumb Over RFK Jr's Antisemitic Remarks
During House Republicans' press conference Tuesday, Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) was forced to play dumb and dumber when he was asked why they are having RFK Jr appear before them when he made antisemitic statements.
Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, has asked Kennedy to testify before the House Judiciary Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government.
Scalise attacked Biden's Justice Department going after Trump and then took some questions from reporters. Someone in the Beltway press corps finally did their job.
"You said the House voting conference is standing up to antisemitism when this week you're platforming someone that recently just said antisemitism comments, that Jewish people are immune to COVID and that's how it was created. How do you square that..." the reporter asked.
"I'm not sure what you're referring to, but.." Scalise most likely lied.
"RFK Jr., he's testifying before the judiciary committee," the reporter said.
"Well, he's a Democrat coming before talking about how you're seeing a selective shutting down of opposing views by the Democrats, they're taking people --- " weaselly Scalise replied.
Yada, yada, Scalise, then claimed the Democratic party has a problem with antisemitism, which is ludicrous.
