The chairwoman of the Nebraska Democratic Party's Black Caucus is resisting pressure to resign after she called Republicans' reactions to the shooting of House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R., La.) "so funny."
Chelsey Gentry-Tipton of Omaha, Neb. also wrote on Facebook that she was "having a hard time feeling bad" for Republicans, the Omaha World-Herald reported. Both comments were made Wednesday, the day of the shooting in Alexandria, Va. that injured Scalise and four others.
The chairwoman of the Nebraska Democratic Party, Jane Kleeb, has requested for Gentry-Tipton's resignation.
Gentry-Tipton said "Y is this so funny tho?" in response to a post floating the possibility that the shooter was angry about congressional Republicans' health care proposal.
Gentry-Tipton then responded to criticism of her first comment by saying that it is "hard to feel bad" for Republicans who use the National Rifle Association to "pad their pockets with complete disregard for human life."
Gentry-Tipton then took to Facebook again to reject calls for her resignation, saying that her comments were taken out of context and accusing her fellow Democrats of trying to undermine her. She also used the post as an opportunity to accuse Democrats of not understanding and reacting promptly to matters that affect the black community, including gun violence, wage inequality, and workplace bigotry.
Black caucus in Nebraska? Both of them?
Bastards.

They think this kind of thing hurts us but, in actuality, it serves us. keep it up dems.
yep....throw it back in their stinking faces.
They want to kill us. I’ve posted it before and I’ll post it again...they really want to kill us. I saw this kind of hatred from liberal parents when I taught High School. Evil, valueless people who want to kill whoever opposes them.
n word
Republican lives matter. (And wait for the uproar...)
Violent snowflakes ...
If the victim had been black and she white, she’d be gone already.

Ptetty gal! Too bad her brain so defective!
Just like muslims.
There is no reasoning with someone playing the victim card and race card symultaniously and per the letter itself .... the letter is known as a “how dare you” response giving further proof that the writer of the letter is not willing to be reasonable. The dems have real problems. Time to grab some more popcorn.
I expect the riots to be larger this summer
They will be wailing soon enough when people express disgust at the polls. Our modern left is overplaying its hand against the Trump card.
