Talk:Steve Scalise

Environment

The phrase "scientific consensus" is a broad-brush term used to promote a particular viewpoint and set of beliefs. The "consensus" has been imposed on many in the scientific community who, when they opt out of controversy, are presumed to "consent" to particular theories, even though much of the data supporting these theories is questionable.

Scalise has not yet been voted on to be the Speaker of the House. MilhouseMcMuffin (talk) 21:32, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

 Done I think anyway? It wasn't in the article when I saw it so presumably someone else has removed it. ser! ^{(chat to me - see my edits)} 21:38, 11 October 2023 (UTC)

citation 91 — about global cooling and "because it is true"

the source reference is from Time Magazine, 1974. If there is more current evidence of global cooling, it might be relevant to add that. Otherwise, this is misleading, especially when there is much more rigorous and current study about climate change that disputes this point of view. Madmayday (talk) 13:00, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

I have adjusted the text so that it reflects what I believe it was intended to mean (that some unnamed "they" was saying in the 1970s that the earth was cooling) versus how you seem to have interpreted it (the earth is cooling). Still, we would be better with a source that references the topic of this article. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 13:10, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

I see someone has returned the text to some earlier state, which had several problems (which I've since partially addressed). One is that it paraphrased his quote as saying that the "scientific community" claimed something, and the quotes we have are never that precise; he says "they" said something. One was at least a response to a question that had the word "scientists", but "they say" is such a vaguery that we cannot even assume in that case that's who he meant. The other main problem is that it went on to say that what the subject had said was not true, and that was a statement that had only an internal link rather than a source. Thing is, even if we had a quote from him saying "X" and another source saying "X is not true", we could not put that together here to indicate that what he was saying was not true, because that would be WP:SYNTH. We would need a source specifically saying "Scalise said X, which is not true." -- Nat Gertler (talk) 20:32, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

Nazi Reference on the American Flag in Scalise's Office

On 10/16/2025 Stephen Colbert of CBS reported and showed a social media post from a staffer of Mike Scalise with the image of an American Flag defaced with a swastika woven into the flag design itself. The swastika of course being an icon of the Nazi Party as well as a symbol of white supremacist terrorist organizations movement and more recently, an alignment with the MAGA base in general and the Young Republicans organization, who lauded Hitler and the principles of the Nazi Party. 2603:6010:8A02:8100:857F:EC3C:85D0:8F75 (talk) 17:01, 20 October 2025 (UTC)

Does The Text About The Committees this person is on need to be updated?

I noticed that the text about the Committees that Steve Scalise is part of may be outdated. Was it updated recently? If not, that part should be updated. Thank you.

Ps. I was trying to get modern information for school. ~2026-80600-3 (talk) 20:02, 24 February 2026 (UTC)
