House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, R-La., admitted Friday he was still grappling with forgiving the man who shot him two years ago on a baseball field outside of Washington, D.C.

“I’ve never internally, formally forgiven the shooter from the baseball shooting and 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,” Scalise told reporters on Capitol Hill.
