“Republicans hate poor people”: Member of Colorado GOP group resigns after posts party says were “inappropriate and offensive”
“A member of the Alamosa County Republicans has resigned after Facebook and Twitter posts from the organization said that ‘Republicans hate poor people.’ ‘The author acted independently and without the concurrence of any other member of the Alamosa County Republicans,’ the group said in a subsequent Facebook post Saturday. ‘The regrettable post was made with the intention of condemning poverty, not persons affected by poverty, and was not meant to insult anyone. However, that occurred, and the author sincerely regrets the post and has offered his resignation from his position with the Alamosa County Republicans, which has been accepted. Actions have consequences.’”
