Minutes highlight Scalise efforts to kill resolution apologizing for slavery

It should be clear by now that going to a EURO event was not an accident, but that, at the very least, white supremacist ideas was something Scalise had no problem flirting with. So, why did we let this disappear?

And, obviously, Vitter was there too. So, this is more than bad judgement and they should be held accountable for that.

Another familiar face was in the committee meeting as well: Republican David Vitter. The U.S. senator and 2015 Louisiana gubernatorial candidate was also a state representative serving on the panel.

Vitter echoed Scalise in the meeting, arguing that an apology for slavery implied an “admission of guilt,” according to the minutes. The future U.S. senator said “an expression of regret” was more appropriate.

That's short of a complete brain transplant, of course.
