So you based an entire piece on your interpretation of  a vague phrase in an otherwise non-partisan statement. I don't think it's a stretch to say that someone had a "problem with racial issues" when they were at one point accused of being sympathetic to white nationalists. I would describe that as having a problem with racial issues too if I had a word limit and was trying to be concise. Had he wanted to draw more attention to that incident, I'm sure he could have been less vague. It's you who made the leap to assume that phrase was meant to accuse Scalise of something.
