P. Just six months ago but it was that speech that he gave nearly 13 years ago that is now coming back to haunt him.

According to a post on a neonazi forum after the event a user said scalise criticized a fund as an apparent group based on race. Scalise denied knowing what the group stood for when he gave the speech. Washington post reporter robert costa said that david duke was a wellknown figure in louisiana politics. This was a major event in louisiana at the time. It was in new orleans. It was a gathering of White Supremacists and neonazis. Scalise says he was not aware of those associations. But it seems like everyone else there was quite nollable about mr. Duke and his history.
