Share Source: Senate Television via AP A Texas county’s Democratic Party is refusing to accept the resignation of Lamar County Democratic Party Chairman Gary O’Connor, who announced he would step down after calling Sen. Tim Scott an “oreo with no real principles.” O’Connor, who is white, made the comment in a Facebook post after the GOP senator’s rebuttal to President Biden’s address to Congress last week. He later apologized for using the “racist term” against the black South Carolina Republican. “It was insensitive and I have embarrassed myself and my party by its use,” O’Connor’s statement read.
