Democratic congressman: Scalise should not step down

On MSNBC’s The Rundown, Democratic representative John Yarmuth said House majority whip Steve Scalise should not resign from his leadership position for allegedly speaking to a group of white supremacists. The Kentucky Democrat admitted that he too spoke to a white-supremacist group, albeit for different reasons.

“I spoke to a white-supremacist group before I got into politics, but I was asked to come there and tell them why they were wrong, which I really enjoyed doing,” Yarmuth said. “I think what he ought to do is lead a very affirmative effort in the Congress to expand voting rights and civil rights.”
