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.
Minority whip is a legacy status for Scalise? I wasn’t aware these titles lasted past their validity.
Prayers the gopE will be having same reaction as the liberals
And so will the public disgust be, but sometimes the kid must be allowed to throw a tantrum before being sent to his/her room.
Knew it had braids. That’s the new afro hair style denoting defiance.
Actually more likely the arch conservatives be on Trump’s back for failing to be righty enough.
Dread lox?
I expect President Trump is as conservative as former President Reagan. History will tell us soon enough
Yep; they’re proving that with each passing day. If those Bolsheviks could get away with it, they’d slaughter every last one of us and our families.
He’s more right than our left is today, but mark my words he is not going to be extolling “conservatism” the way Reagan did. When one knows the way to go is up, one bothers less with sideways motion.
The reason Donald opposes ungoverned immigration has less to do with “conservatism” than that it is a proven disunifier. Donald is willing to run a melting pot at full blast.
Don’t go believing the drive-bys, please. President Trump could be the most ‘right’ President elected and a businessperson does not attain wealth by not knowing how our economy behaves. The simple fact that the liberals hate President Trump gives me hope for America and Americans. Truths are being spoken and maybe soon the happenings on our planet will soon gain God’s attention. Imho that would be a good thing .... if God thought about Earth and provided a period of grace.
Wow. This is the best Nebraska has? Deplorable. Resign.
I watch the seething low patience critics right on FR. With that, who needs the MSM allegations?
I need breakfast and coffee. Have a great day
It’s a minority in NE. The reference to Scalise as a minority whip sounds like a confusion generation move by the media. Once GOP dominated the House someone else was designated majority whip. Sound and fury riling people up.
All could stand to have a cuppa chill out tea. God might be granting our prayers and here we need a boatload of Compound W for our worry warts.

The Left is revealing their mental illness. It was created by the self-esteem movement that encouraged narcissism. For narcissists, it is their way or the highway. They are totalitarians. For the blacks, the self-esteem ideology was given a double douse to make up for the decades of discrimination. The world really revolves around them. When it doesn’t they really come unglued. It becomes street justice and drugs to enhance a positive attitude when things don’t go right. Pathetic.
There are plenty in academia who would love to kill non liberals.
I ran into some.
Democrat = Feral
