The head of the Delaware Republican Party says a Democratic state senator should resign after the lawmaker posted a meme on social media likening conservative radio personality Rush Limbaugh to a member of the Ku Klux Klan.
"As a member of the Senate, he's demeaned the entire body of the state Senate," said Delaware GOP Chairwoman Jane Brady. "What he did is offensive. ... I've already heard some people calling for his resignation."
She's referring to a meme that Sen. Bryan Townsend, D-Newark, posted on Twitter on Saturday.
It was a cartoon of several hooded figures in white cloaks, presumably made to look like members of the KKK. One of the figures appears to be wearing a medal, similar to the Presidential Medal of Freedom that President Donald Trump awarded Limbaugh during the State of the Union speech last week. Shortly before receiving the medial, Limbaugh had revealed he has been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer.

(12,905 posts)who insults and degrades the disadvantaged, the infirm and just about everyone who isn't a an outright Nazi who is wrongfully awarded the Medal of Freedom by fascist gangster occupying the White House. A guy who's paid millions to demonize other Americans is somehow harmed by a drawing that suggests he's a virulent bigot. Maybe the Repubics should look at some of Rash Limbaugh's verbal assaults against military veterans and public servants who aren't to the right of Attila The Hun.
Does the demand of the head of the Delaware Republican Party indicate the Republicans are the Party of the Klan?

Fuck your feelings is a GOP slogan
Remember how their POTUS talked about cancer John McCain? Even in death?
AND the truth is a defense. Limbaugh is a race baiting tobacco industry shill.
"Obama's America, white kids getting beat up on school buses now. You put your kids on a school bus, you expect safety but in Obama's America the white kids now get beat up with the black kids cheering, 'Yay, right on, right on, right on, right on,' and, of course, everybody says the white kid deserved it, he was born a racist, he's white."
