to act on Trump and the way he's treated them and their constituents, Scalise wants politics to be less personal. What gaslighting!
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 hes 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 youre trying to settle scores, its going to make it hard for you to achieve all the big things you want to do. Its hard to pass a bill into law. You have to build coalitions, in some cases with people that you dont always agree with, and you can do that as long as youre not trying to settle scores every day over yesterdays fight.
