    He spoke at Duke's convention:

    In 2002, Scalise was a speaker at a convention for the European-American Unity and Rights Organization (EURO), a group which was founded by David Duke. This became known in 2014 after political blogger Lamar White, Jr. uncovered anonymous comments from 2002 on Stormfront, a white supremacist website, which made reference to Scalise as a 2002 speaker at the convention. source

    Yeah he definitely sounds like a big enough of a racist piece of shit to be popular with Republicans.
