The Lamar County Democratic Party announced it did not accept its chairman’s resignation after he called Sen. Tim Scott an “oreo.”“After much discussion—especially among our local Black Democrats—we chose not to accept Mr. O'Connor's resignation,” the group wrote on its Facebook page in a statement Tuesday, which appears to have since been deleted.“Mr. O'Connor has written a public letter of apology to Sen. Tim Scott, and Lamar County Democrats join him in this apology.”
