"Further complicating things for Scalise, Duke made a public statement yesterday coming to the defense of the GOP House Minority Whip, calling him a “fine family man” and emphasizing their close relationship.
“Scalise would communicate a lot with my campaign manager, Kenny Knight,” Duke told the Huffington Post in an interview. “That is why he was invited and why he would come [to the EURO convention]. Kenny knew Scalise, Scalise knew Kenny. They were friendly.”
It’s interesting to note that the other GOPers in the Roll Call article outright condemned David Duke. Scalise was the only one who seemed congenial about him."
