Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott called on a Democratic Party official in his state to step down from office following his “disgusting” racial slur regarding GOP Sen. Tim Scott.
“This is disgusting, hateful, and completely unacceptable. O’Connor must apologize to @SenatorTimScott & step down immediately,” Abbott tweeted Saturday. “@texasdemocrats censure him.”

There’s the classless knee-jerk element to these people or the think-it-out don’t worry, we’ll get away with it thought. What is it?
Democrats never resign.
Democrats get protected.
Won’t happen. If anything, Abbott will get punished for requesting this.
Resign? Hell this warrants a promotion!
He forgets the proper response for Democrats that get caught in this kind of no no is to apologize and just move on.
Abbott thinking that he can use the Left’s spells and incantations against them.
I don’t think this a—wipe cares one way or the other. His party and constituents agree with him. Nothing will happen.
Well, now that Abbott has spoken, what does Costello say?
There are no people white leftists hate more than black people who don’t go along with their leftist ideas. They will vilify blacks who think for themselves and subject them to the worst kinds of racism, because black people who dare to disagree take away the victim-by-proxy power leftists give themselves.
(The quest of the Enlightened, of course, is truth--truth for its own sake--wherever it might present itself.)
Reagan and B.J. were on the receiving end of uncalled for attacks in debates. Both had it down. Show a little hurt but stand up and call out the unfairness in a way that brought out the guilt in the attacker. . Dan Quayle reacted. It’s about women and girlie men who are watching.
I wouldn’t resign. He’s said nothing worse than Maxine waters or most other ‘rats have said. Until his fellow rats call for his resignation, he’s safe.

Here’s the whole thing if you don’t want to be inundated with ads:
Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott called on a Democratic Party official in his state to step down from office following his “disgusting” racial slur regarding GOP Sen. Tim Scott.
“This is disgusting, hateful, and completely unacceptable. O’Connor must apologize to @SenatorTimScott & step down immediately,” Abbott tweeted Saturday. “@texasdemocrats censure him.”
He was responding to a since-deleted Facebook post from Lamar County Democratic Party chairman Gary O’Connor that called Scott an “oreo” following his Republican rebuttal to Joe Biden’s address to Congress.
“Oreo” refers to a black person who is perceived as acting like 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 post read.
O’Connor has faced calls from other Texas political leaders to step down, including Republican Rep. Pat Fallon.
“Gary O’Connor’s comment against Senator Tim Scott is abhorrent, insulting, and unforgivable. Both he and the entire Lamar County Democratic Party should be ashamed of this racist behavior,” Fallon said.
“This kind of behavior is not tolerable in Texas, the United States, or any political party,” he added.
The comment comes after the slur “Uncle Tim” trended on Twitter to disparage Scott.
Twitter banned the phrase from appearing in its trending section, but the tweets containing the offensive term were not removed and remain live on the platform.
Scott was praised for his impressive speech on Wednesday night, where he spoke about unity, finding common ground about race, and how he did not think America is a racist country.
Scott said that he himself knows the “pain of discrimination,” having been “pulled over for no reason” and “followed around a store.”
He also added: “I’ve also experienced a different kind of intolerance. I get called ‘Uncle Tom’ and the N-word by progressives, by liberals. Just last week, a national newspaper suggested my family’s poverty was actually a privilege because a relative owned land generations before my time.”
“It is stunning in 2021 that those who speak about ending discrimination want to end it by more discrimination,” Scott said.
It is the difference in doing things by word or by deed. I suppose Abbot figures that since he is too gutless to stand up for Texas and stop the illegal immigration onslaught in his state, he can at least make a splash by whining over racism.
Yes sir, nothing cleanses anyone of any sins like sniffing out and decrying racism in someone else. It is a very easy way to establish superior morality.
Why would he do that? That’s who Democrats are. That’s what they actually believe.
