Time for your periodic reminder that Chris Hayes is a colossal douchebag:
Nice to see GOP House Leadership unanimously and unequivocally assure all of us that their colleague is not, in fact, a Neo Nazi.

What’re you getting at, buddy?

Kinda sounds like it, doesn’t it? What’s great, though, is that when it comes to certain other politicians, Chris doesn’t have to just hope they’re actual, for-realsies racists. Robert Byrd, anyone?

@chrislhayes
As opposed to the late Senator Robert Byrd who actually belonged to the KKK. Glad you cleared this up for us.— gene (@otis777) December 30, 2014

Yep. Here’s what Chris had to say when confronted with reality:
Appeared the Scalise situation could be problematic for GOP, but #tcot just reminded me that Robert Byrd was in the Klan. So let's move on.
— Chris Hayes (@chrislhayes) December 30, 2014
The truth is hard. Better just dismiss it, then.
Shorter @chrislhayes : Scalise is your typical GOP racist, but former Dem Sen Majority Leader Byrd apologized, so he's irrelevant.

That’s the Juicebox Media Way!
.@chrislhayes Journalist says what?
— Kyle Raccio (@kyleraccio) December 30, 2014
Journalist? Yeah, there’s no journalist here.
@chrislhayes You should just stick to crying into your sweater.
