The Texas Democratic leader who called Senator Tim Scott an āoreoā has resigned in response to mounting pressure from state officials on both sides of the aisle.
āI am deeply and sincerely sorry for my inappropriate and hurtful use of racist term I used to describe Sen. Tim Scott on my personal Facebook page. It was insensitive, and I have embarrassed myself and my party by its use,ā Lamar County Democratic Party Chairman Gary OāConnor told the Washington Examiner Tuesday.
āAs a result, I feel compelled to offer my resignation as chair of the Lamar County Democratic Party for consideration by the County Executive Committee,ā OāConnor said.

Representatives of the Lamar County Democrats met Tuesday to consider the resignation of Gary OāConnor, the Lamar County Democratic Party chair. However, the party said in a statement that they decided not to accept the resignation after taking the ālast few days to reflect upon this incident.ā

Scumbags of the highest degree.

Ralph Northam is still gov of VA and he wore black face.
These scumbags have made racism into a joke/weapon to do nothing more than further destroy our country. As usual it seems to always be projection on their part when you see them fingerpointing at others.

We don't know for sure if he dressed up in black face. It's 50/50, he could have been dressed up as a klan member.
