Over the weekend, the state’s Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) and Texas Land Commissioner George P. Bush pushed for Waters’ resignation via Twitter.
“Her comments are offensive to everyone in the community,” Patrick tweeted.
Bush asserted there was “no reason, no excuse and no room in our party for racist comments.”
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s (R) spokesperson, John Wittman, told the Austin Statesman that her comments were “absolutely abhorrent” and “have no place in the Republican party.”
Hey, remember when these guys came down just as unequivocally when the New York Times and Washington Post revealed that then-Gov. Rick Perry “had once hunted at and taken guests to a hunting camp that had the name Niggerhead painted on a rock at the entrance”?
Yeah, me neither.
