Not if you consider the media coverage of his resignation.
I've heard the media report that he resigned because he called Republicans an ugly name and because he's a truther. Period. No mention of the C word anywhere that I've seen. It's not PC to mention the fact that he is an admitted communist.
They all were able to get their foot in the W.H. door using scare tactics of the race cards, and I think also scared to be a McCarthy!!!
