Apparently, politically opportunistic racism is not deserving of adverse consequences.

Texas Tribune

quote:

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


quote:

Lamar County Democrats recommit ourselves to conduct our private conversations and our public social media discussions with anti-racist, pro-reconciling attitudes and language,” the party wrote in a statement. “We strongly condemn bigotry of any kind and will continue our historic efforts to work for justice and equality for all our fellow citizens.”


quote:

Multiple Republican politicians in Texas, including Gov. Greg Abbott and state GOP Chair Allen West, condemned O'Connor's use of the phrase before he announced his intent to resign.

Because there's really only one kind of BAD racism and that's racism by conservatives.

This is how the democrats win. They circle the wagons and protect their own no matter what, if it were a republican his own party would hang him out to dry.

Every. Single. Time

WTH is "historic" about their efforts? Is it their admission that racist comments are ok if you're the right person saying them?

It's almost as if Republicans are attempting to appeal to the better nature of people who have no better nature. Additionally, the Democrat-friendly media will not pursue this story, but if a Republican were to make a similarly bigoted statement...
