Texas Democrat resigns after Calling Tim Scott an ‘Oreo’

National Review
quote:
The Texas Democratic leader who called Senator Tim Scott an “oreo” has resigned in response to mounting pressure from state officials on both sides of the aisle.
“I 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,” Lamar County Democratic Party Chairman Gary O’Connor told the Washington Examiner Tuesday.
“As a result, I feel compelled to offer my resignation as chair of the Lamar County Democratic Party for consideration by the County Executive Committee,” O’Connor said.
After Scott delivered the Republican rebuttal to President Joe Biden’s joint address to Congress, O’Connor labeled the senator an “Oreo”, referring to a black individual who is perceived as displaying characteristics of a white person.
“I had hoped that Scott might show some common sense, but it seems clear he is little more than an oreo with no real principles,” the Texas Democrat commented.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott and other political officials slammed O’Connor’s words on social media.
“This is disgusting, hateful, and completely unacceptable. O’Connor must apologize to @SenatorTimScott & step down immediately,” Abbott wrote on Twitter on Saturday. “@texasdemocrats censure him.”
O’Connor’s derogatory comments come after the racial slur, “Uncle Tim,” trended on Twitter after Scott’s speech last week.
Twitter blocked the phrase from appearing in the platform’s trending section to prevent it from going viral, but existing tweets containing the language were not removed.
In his response address, Scott said, “Hear me clearly: America is not a racist country,” and he spoke in defense of Georgia’s election integrity law, which has been panned by liberals as disenfranchising black voters.”
The South Carolina senator remarked that he had “experienced the pain of discrimination”. He added, “I’ve also experienced a different kind of intolerance.”
“I get called Uncle Tom and the n-word by progressives and liberals,” Scott remarked.

K, I am not up on the racist terms... Oreo? I am assuming black on the outside and white on the inside?

You mean the people that only see people based on the color of their skin are the racist ones?
You don’t say!?!

Good. See who the real bigots are. These self-righteous white statists are outing themselves.

Goes along with what we conservatives have been saying for years.....it’s the Dims who are racist and that’s why they have “white guilt.”

Bridget Phetasy unloaded on the Democrats for that in this week's Dumpster Fire podcast.

Best news I've read all day.
Liberals normally circle the wagons better than any group I know.

Anyone else not surprised that a white liberal would say racist things?

That vehicle is so quintessential liberal.

Feelgood story of the day. This is what real racism looks like, and the results a normal person would expect. I'd say send the fricker to a sensitivity training class but he'd probably die faster from a heart attack at a donut shop.

I hate the cancel culture with a passion but you get what you give.
