There’s plenty about the Department of Housing and Urban Development to criticize. The real test is the specificity of the criticism. If someone is going after specific HUD policies as wasteful, ineffective, or badly executed, then there’s a better-than-good chance that critic is on the level (they can still be wrong, but they are unlikely to be a bigot).

It’s when someone is using “HUD” as a buzzword while raging against other buzzwords such as “handouts” and “freeloading” that they are likely to be a bigot.

Well given that it was at a conference of bigots, we know what it was. Of course, there’s legitimate criticisms of HUD but something tells me that Scalise wasn’t criticizing efficiency at that so let’s just say what this was about. It was a big old dog whistle to the bigoted assholes that Duke and his friends are that think HUD is nothing but “handouts” and “freeloading” even though many of them are probably on disability themselves.
