Outreach!

Such twat!
These clowns think wearing ignorance like a red badge of courage is a good thing. Lord help us all from creatures like him.
"He apologized for the post and said that he did not mean to use the slang term for genitalia, but intended to use the word “twaddle,” which means “foolish speech.”
So…he intended to call her “a sexist twaddle?” No one can massacre the English language like the baggergeoisie. Look at how their heroine, the Whore of Babble On, can verbally toss a salad.
Tell it to the “blahs”.
Dumbass should have checked wikipedia.
Dumbass.
Twaddle Dum
I suggest the “gentleman” from Virginia take a short road trip from Richmond to the Arlington Cemetery and take note of the headstones engraved with a crescent moon.
Walkback in…3…2…1…
I bet he also thinks immigrants did not contribute.

Much twat.
This wasn’t even an issue that this treasurer needed to address. A Ramadan speech? Really? Was that even a pressing matter? I seriously doubt the GOPer even listened to it but the kneejerk reaction is to pick apart any portion and criticize it.
But perhaps the treasurer felt he could further endear himself to the crazies by using anything to trash Obama AND Muslims at the same time — attempting to hit two birds with one stone.
Great outreach.

On the other hand, Southern racists have contributed plenty to our nation’s fabric.
