Knight said Scalise, then a state representative, spoke to the civic association and was probably unaware the EURO conference was being held in the same room later that day. Knight and Scalise primarily knew each other as neighbors and not through politics necessarily, Knight said.Via Instapundit.
"The conference wasn't going to start until 1 p.m., so I decided to have the members of the civic association there Saturday morning," he said, "My relationship with Steve Scalise was as a neighbor. I don't know that Steve Scalise and I ever talked about politics."
He also is quoted saying: "Steve came in early on the first day of EURO, spoke for about 15 minutes, and he left."
Knight described the crowd as a "mixed" audience for Scalise, "people who are concerned about the survival of their race." He added: "The thing is, I don't think Scalise knew anything about EURO, about that latter group."
Knight said Wednesday that the Post reporter didn't get story right.
"I told him the same story I am telling you," he said.
For her part, Noble said she was not a member of the civic association, but was dating Knight and attended the civic meeting with him. She said Scalise addressed the neighborhood group, not EURO.
"He was just there to speak with his constituents," Noble said.

Correction on page D-15. Bottom left. 1/2" column inches.
Fake but accurate.
Time to play hard ball.
Scalise needs to ask, then demand, that the Post print a front page explanation of the significant error in their "report" and apologize for not doing their homework well, if at all.
I am tired of the weasly "sorrysorrysorry" for this kind of stuff.
More Barkley, less Milquetoast.
If you are going to ruin somebody the least you could do is be accurate.
The unexamined left biased story just popped up on my Yahoo page. The "reporter" snidely makes suggestions to Scalise on how to identify white supremacists. I don't expect there will be a retraction or apology from the deeply biased myopic Yahoo. And still Al Sharpton has been to the White House almost as many times as Obama.
What's the diff between EURO and the NAACP?
The diff is that one of those two thoroughly racial organizations is lauded and embraced and the other one is not even to be spoken of by all respectable right thinking people.
Well, if you want to split hairs...
But, on this one, Boehner showed some steel. Good for him.
Maybe it could be a habit.
ANYTIME a story has a single source the bullshit warning light oughtta be flashing.
It's just too easy for one person to make stuff up & stick to his story until someone does the leg work to find out that the story just doesn't jive with the facts (phone records, ATM video, etc). But, it takes work to find that stuff out, and if the reporter doesn't want to kill his own scoop out of laziness or ideological commitment, that work just never gets done.
Smear jobs don't matter as long as the smear sticks. It's too late...
The only useful thing to say to a reporter is Pho queue.
Leftwing progressive democrat Matt Lauer MSNBC smear and lie and obsess on page one.
Apologize on page 19B in fine print.
The guy quoted in the article also said he was never a member of EURO....woops-he was.
