I think Mia Love will be cover for every racist Republican in Congress.

Incoming Rep. Mia Love (R-UT) on Sunday said that House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) should remain in Republican leadership despite recent reports that he spoke at an event for a white nationalist group in 2002.

"These groups are awful. And the last thing I want to do is give them any sort of publicity or credibility, and I can say, as far as I'm concerned, with Representative Scalise, he has been absolutely wonderful to work with," Love said on ABC's "This Week."

When asked if Scalise should remain as GOP whip, Love indicated that his apology was enough.

"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 he's apologized, and I think that we need to move on and get the work of the American people done," she said.

"Now, we can argue all day long about who lynched whom, but the truth of the matter is that the racists are damn mad, too. So let's just say that both sides made mistakes and go on from there."

At least, those are the instructions from Republican Command to their toadies in the popular media.

Black Republicans are for the consumption and comfort of White Republicans who want to convince themselves their policies when not outright racist are not de facto racist as well. Anyone living outside the Fox News bubble can see right through this BS.
