Texas Democrat Announces Resignation After Calling Sen. Tim Scott An Oreo

Democrat Gary O’Connor resigned after receiving criticism for calling Tim Scott and’Oreo,” based on The Daily Caller.

“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,” O’Connor said.

“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,” O’Connor said.

“It was insensitive, and I have embarrassed myself and my party by its use.”

Gov. Greg Abbott called the Remarks”disgusting, hateful, and completely unacceptable” and demanded that O’Connor step immediately.
