Rachel Maddow enjoyed her holiday break, thank you very much, but we get the feeling that a good part of why she enjoyed it was anticipation of telling the whole sordid Steve Scalise Talked to Nazis story when she got back. And she is in fine form! She starts by noting that, if you're of a mind to, you can buy some really awful swastika-themed art by the pseudonymous white nationalist whose 2002 posts on Stormfront are the most detailed contemporaneous accounts of Scalise's talk back then.

oh pity meeeeeeeeee...
almost?
The Washington Generals of politics?
ROFL, yeah, that&#039;ll happen
I don&#039;t know why people are surprised that a Republican spoke to a neo-Nazi Group.
