Mia Love: 'We Need To Move On' From Steve Scalise Controvery

The Huffington Post | By Elise Foley

Posted: 01/04/2015

Incoming Rep. Mia Love of Utah, the first black Republican woman elected to Congress, said Sunday that House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) should keep his leadership position despite controversy over his 2002 speech to a white supremacist conference.

Scalise, the number three Republican in the House of Representatives, admitted last week that he spoke at a conference hosted by the European-American Unity and Rights Organization, a white supremacist group. Love had previously made few remarks about the issue, saying only that she had not spoken to Scalise yet about it but that he had always been helpful to her.

During an appearance Sunday on ABC's "This Week," Love was a bit more expansive. She said it was "really interesting" that it was coming up now, so many years after the fact, and that she did not want to give the "awful" groups any publicity.

"I can say as far as I'm concerned with Representative Scalise, he has been absolutely wonderful to work with," she said. "He's been very helpful for me and he has had the support of his colleagues."

She added Scalise should keep his leadership spot.

"I believe he should remain in leadership," Love said. "There's one quality that he has that I think is very important in leadership and that's humility, and he's actually shown that in this case and has apologized and I think we need to move on and get the work of the American people done."

First of all, I have nothing against Blacks that desire to be a repub. I do have a problem when they lose their identity in the process. To suggest that what Scalise and others have done in the past as being moot (for the lack of a better word) is like saying that all that has happened to the Black woman by White segregationists for years never happened. The Black women usefulness to the repub party is strictly agenda driven and they are being used again. Miss Love will find out once she gets off the script. The repubs are very unforgiving.

Make no mistake, as soon as Mia gets off the script repubs will have no Love for her. Pun intended. Case in point see "Bad News For John Boehner" . The repub trolls once praised him and he is Speaker of the House...for now?

Pretty much on point. Republicans appointing blacks to 'limited power positions' is nothing more than theatre. The moment any black says or does ANYTHING contrary to what they want, they're gonna get it much worse than any of their white counterparts. See, Republicans are SMART when they put a black in office...and aren't racists anymore. Oh, but when blacks put a WHITE REPUBLICAN in office, they're nothing more than Uncle Toms...and still LIBTARDS. Really? According to this fallout...YES.

McDaniels cried foul only because he wanted those LIBTARDS to put him into office, and they didn't...and for very good reasoning. Republicans love blacks when they're doing the 'Yessuh, Massah' thing in politics. When blacks use their intelligence, Republicans resume with their normal hatred and racism. You let Tim Scott start talking about the possibility of racism by the GOP need to be addressed...they will drop kick his black gluteus-maximus so hard that Obama Care won't have enough coverage IN ANY PLAN to fix it. That applies to all their men and women of color.

Off Topic: I couldn't get 'em to bite on my reasoning of the pictures posted by Palin but, it still stands. Sure, Trig has the right idea of not allowing anything to stop his progress in that regard. But, my message is still consistent that she feels it's A-OK to step on, stand on, and walk all over any and everything just to get what you want or want to go. Instead of her picking up a phone or camera to take a picture of that whole deal, she should've been picking up a stool or chair for him to stand on. Better yet, she should've stopped him and told him to do the same thing and that the dog isn't designed or meant to be STOOD ON.

We all know who's really 'misguided' here. Seems common sense stocks on the Republican side is at an all-time low as no one is invested.
