Texas Democrat Resigns after Calling Tim Scott an 'Oreo'

2021-05-05

[NATIONALREVIEW] The Texas Democratic leader who called Senator Tim Scott an "oreo" has resigned in response to mounting pressure from state officials on both sides of the aisle.

"I am deeply and sincerely sorry for my inappropriate and hurtful use of racist term I used to describe Sen. Tim Scott on my personal Facebook page. It was insensitive, and I have embarrassed myself and my party by its use," Lamar County Democratic Party Chairman Gary O’Connor told the Washington Examiner Tuesday.

"As a result, I feel compelled to offer my resignation as chair of the Lamar County Democratic Party for consideration by the County Executive Committee," O’Connor said.

At least he understands that much.

’s joint address to Congress, O’Connor labeled the senator an "Oreo", referring to a black individual who is perceived as displaying characteristics of 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 Texas Democrat commented.
