Steve Scalise Says Politics Has Gotten Too Personal

“House Majority Leader Steve Scalise says lawmakers need to stop making politics so personal,” NOTUS reports.

“Scalise says he’s had success over his long career by not burning bridges, even in a heavily polarized Congress where some representatives openly trash each other on increasingly personal terms.”

Said Scalise: “If you’re trying to settle scores, it’s going to make it hard for you to achieve all the big things you want to do. It’s hard to pass a bill into law. You have to build coalitions, in some cases with people that you don’t always agree with, and you can do that as long as you’re not trying to settle scores every day over yesterday’s fight.”
