My Congressman Tweeted and Deleted Something Racist Again
Rep. Greg Murphy clearly doesn’t understand that the internet is forever.

But let’s imagine that instead of accepting responsibility for the harm they caused, they quietly delete the post and hope no one else noticed. Imagine they refuse to acknowledge what they said, despite being contacted by the people they serve and the media.
Does this seem like the kind of leader you want? How about to represent you as your Congressman?
Unfortunately, this is the reality for people in my community who are represented by someone well-known for their hair-trigger temper and who has repeatedly directed his vitriol at women of color, including Vice President Kamala Harris.
