A Republican manager from Minnesota’s Seventh Congressional District has been removed after this tweet:
In a statement Monday, DFL Chairman Ken Martin said comments like the one posted to Twitter Monday evening, “have become commonplace in the Republican party, and it should be no surprise that they are now an accepted and normal part of their conversation.”
“There is absolutely no place for this kind of ugly language in our state and we call on Chairman [Kevin] Downey to apologize to the people of Minnesota for the racist and bigoted comment from the Minnesota 7th Congressional District Republican Party,” the statement read.
In a Twitter post, Downey said the group removed the manager who crafted the tweet. “My apologies to all for their posts,” he wrote.
