Texas Dem official faces demands to resign for calling Tim Scott 'an oreo'

A Texas Democratic official is facing calls to step down from his role after he called Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., a racial slur.

"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," Lamar County Democratic Party chair Gary O'Connor wrote in a now-deleted Facebook post, referring to Scott’s rebuttal to President Biden's Congressional address on Wednesday.

Rep. Pat Fallon, R-Texas -- whose district includes Lamar County located in Northeast Texas -- eviscerated O’Connor for his comment on Friday. In a press release, Fallon called the slur — which refers to a Black person who is perceived as acting White — "unforgivable."

"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," said Fallon.

The first-term congressman called on O’Connor to "apologize and step down immediately" for his racially charged comments slur and asked the Texas Democratic Party and the NAACP "to condemn these words."

The democrats have never been held accountable for their legacy of slavery, Jim Crow, founding the KKK, murdering of black republicans with the KKK, pro-segregation, anti-civil rights activism and their continued racism to this day.

It’s quite a burden they bear. They don’t feel it because they’ve shifted the blame and believe their own lies. But when it comes crashing down in the not too distant future, it will only land on them.

Being a dem means never having to say you’re sorry.

The GOPE has never fought them. Endless compromises, endless failures. They’re too invested in their lucrative life long careers and lavish perks to risk actually fighting like hell for those that brought them to the dance.

Democrats...such great people. *rolls eyes*

Seriously...some prominent Dem should call him out for this, not just leaving it to the Republicans.

I guess O’Connor can forget a career at Boeing.

dems are allowed to be racist as long as the target is a normal-thinking person.

Of course they have. They have blamed Republicans. They’ve told everybody the two parties “switched sides” which absolved dems of their evil deeds and shifted credit for their history of racism to Republicans, who had fought them the entire time. They have deployed famed internet re-historian Kevin Kruse to champion this fantasy scenario.

The democrats’ blaming their racism on republicans is an artificial act, a house of cards if you will.

Their game will collapse.

True, but things are different now, hugely, and it’s not going away.
