Rep. Steve Scalise struggles to forgive his shooter 2 years later
In a briefing with reporters about the week's events in Washington, the Louisiana lawmaker detoured unprompted to his battle to absolve his attacker. Scalise said it came up last week, when he and Vice President Mike Pence visited the leaders of three predominantly black churches near his congressional district that were badly burned recently by an alleged arsonist .
"I still have to address forgiveness for the shooting two years ago, so it was really good to talk to him and kind of get an understanding of how he got to that point," Scalise said. "I've never internally formally forgiven the shooter from the baseball shooting," he said."It's something I've struggled with as a Catholic. I mean, part of my faith is forgiveness and I'm working to get there."
