Republican congressvarmint Steve King has it all figured out.  He saw what Steve Scalise did but King has an explanation.

The congressman suggested Scalise was following the example of Jesus by appearing at the racist event.

“Jesus dined with tax collectors and sinners,” King explained. “It’s not the healthy who need a doctor, it’s the sick. Given that piece of Scripture, and understanding that Scalise probably wasn’t staffed thoroughly, I could understand how something like this happened. But I know his heart, I’ve painted houses with him post-Katrina, and I know he is a good man.”

Yep.  Just like Jesus.

Y’all, he’s serious.  He thinks a white guy who voted against making MLK’s birthday a state holiday was trying to lead the sinners to racial harmony.  You know, just exactly like Jesus.
