A spokesman for the Republican National Committee turned to Twitter Thursday evening to slam the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People for seemingly failing to congratulate Tim Scott and Mia Love on their historic midterm election wins Tuesday.
“Can we take a moment to understand how the @NAACP didn’t congratulate the first black person ever elected to both the House and Senate?” RNC deputy press secretary Raffi Williams tweeted, adding that the group is “failing the black community by only supporting Dems.”

Williams continued skewering the organization in several followup tweets, contending if the NAACP was “truly bipartisan” they “would support all blacks not just dem Blacks.”

The RNC did this? I am SHOCKED! Maybe things really are changing for the better. Congrats to Raffi Williams for this extremely rare display of Republican courage.
This is Juan Williams’ son. Double good on him.
Interesting that the NAACP was FOUNDED by Republicans in 1909 in honor of the centennial of the birth of Republican President Abraham Lincoln.
I second your warm wish for newly elected Conservatives.
The reason that none of the Black Caucus Members moved to a Deluxe Apartment in the Sky is simple.
As a Group they are as Dumb as a Box of Barbara Boxers.
Anvils, Hammers and Rocks are embarrassed to be seen in Public with them.
NAACP only represents those willing to remain on the Democrat plantation.
If we want to stomp out racism, We will have to start with the NAACP, about the only solidly raciest organization left.
The NAACP is about as useful and relevant as the KKK is these days - and even more racist.
Identity politics only count when you serve THE Party.
Changing the name would admit they were wrong.
And if they can be wrong on something as simple as a name, what else are they wrong on?
LOL, well from watching them, quite a bit.
I agree with your point though.
