Texas Governor Calls On Democratic Official To Resign For Calling Black Republican Senator An ‘Oreo’

Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott on Saturday called for the resignation of a Texas Democratic Party official who called Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) an “oreo.”

Gary O’Connor, chairman of the Lamar County Democratic Party, wrote in a Facebook post that Scott — the lone black Republican in the Senate who delivered a scathing rebuttal on Wednesday following President Joe Biden’s address to the nation — is “little more than an oreo with no real principles.” The post has since been deleted.
