Stephen Joseph "Steve" Scalise (born October 6, 1965) is the current United States House of Representatives Majority Whip and representative for Louisiana's 1st congressional district, serving since 2008. He is a member of the Republican Party and the chairman of the 170-member conservative House Republican Study Committee.
Prior to his congressional tenure, Scalise served for four months in the Louisiana State Senate and twelve years in the Louisiana House of Representatives. On June 19, 2014, Scalise was elected by his Republican colleagues to serve as Majority Whip of the United States House of Representatives. He assumed office on August 1. He is the first Louisianan in the Majority Whip's position since Democrat Hale Boggs of Louisiana's 2nd congressional district held the position from 1962 to 1971.
Scalise was born in New Orleans, one of three children of Alfred Joseph Scalise, a real estate broker who died on October 8, 2015 at the age of seventy-seven, and the former Carol Schilleci. His siblings are Glenn and Tara Scalise.
David Ernest Duke (born July 1, 1950) is an American white nationalist, antisemitic conspiracy theorist, far-right politician, and former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. A former one-term Republican Louisiana State Representative, he was a candidate in the Democratic presidential primaries in 1988 and the Republican presidential primaries in 1992. Duke unsuccessfully ran for the Louisiana State Senate, United States Senate, United States House of Representatives, and Governor of Louisiana. Duke is a felon, having pleaded guilty to defrauding supporters by falsely claiming to have no money and being in danger of losing his home in order to solicit emergency donations; at the time, Duke was financially secure, and used the donations for recreational gambling.
Duke describes himself as a "racial realist," asserting that "all people have a basic human right to preserve their own heritage." Duke also speaks against what he describes as Jewish control of the Federal Reserve Bank, the U.S. federal government and the media. Duke supports the preservation of what he considers to be Western culture and traditionalist Christian family values, Constitutionalism, abolition of the Internal Revenue Service, voluntary racial segregation, anti-Communism and white separatism. He has been accused of supporting Holocaust denial and opposes what he considers to be "promotion of homosexuality" by Jews.

"House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) has had many defenders as a tries to beat back a controversy over speaking to a white nationalist group. Some, like David Duke and his allies, haven't much helped Scalise's cause. Others, such as Rep. Cedric Richmond, a black Louisiana Democrat, have been crucial to helping him weather the controversy over his decision to speak to the group in 2002. No defender, though, has been more important to the current iteration of what will be an ongoing conversation around race and the Republican Party than a new member of Congress: Rep.-elect Mia Love (R-Utah). Love vigorously vouched for Scalise on ABC's "This Week" on Sunday, saying that he should remain in leadership and that he had been helpful to her as she transitions to Washington."* The Young T...

"Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA 1) recently became House Majority Whip, and with the new position comes a hiring spree of new staffers to help him with his duties. But Politico reports that a prominent DC lobbyist had significant input into Scalise’s new hires — to the point where he was present during interviews with candidates and participated in hiring decisions. John Feehery, president of communications practices at Quinn Gillespie & Associates, apparently had a major role in advising Scalise on his press and communication team hires, though he apparently “volunteered” his time and was not paid. Feehery was formerly the spokesman for Speaker Dennis Hastert and has decades of experience in the House, but is currently a registered lobbyist with some rather interesting clients: 'Feehery is re...

On Monday's Mark Levin Show: The #3 Republican in the House Steve Scalise should resign from House leadership. He allegedly spoke to a David Duke group and Republican establishment is immediately defending him. The reason they are defending him is because they are defending John Bohener who is up for his speakership. Scalise is a Boehner loyalist who lines up votes for Boehner’s agenda. If Scalise were a hated tea party member he would have been thrown under the bus instantly. Also, a recent Gallup poll shows Americans have had it with politicians, and government. The vast majority don’t want to see John Boehner or Mitch McConnell in high positions. They’re more concerned with protecting their own power and privilege instead of America’s well-being. Mark sees no intellectual curiosity in t...
