“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.
