She covered every base, race, homosexuality, anti-immigrant, healthcare and mass murder in one tweet. I swear, I never thought Id see the day that humans could get so horrible but here we are. Im not at all surprised that this person, woman even, came from Texas. Its like the death state to anyone thats not like her. What are they doing to combat this treasonous behavior against all our American ideals of We The People? Censure? This woman needs re-education about the human race and how everyone of us is special. I bet shes a Christian too, am I right? Sheesh.

A slate of anti-immigrant, anti-trans, pro-death penalty resolutions proffered by a Harris County GOP precinct chair drew outrage from Democrats and scorn from Republicans, though the opposing sides remained at odds over the correct outcome.
Carla Richburg of Cypress, chair of GOP precinct 602, proposed seven resolutions to the party platform, including mandatory death penalties for anyone convicted of murdering a police officer or murders committed during other felonies; a call to wage war against all invaders related to Texas borders that authorizes deadly force; considering all Chinese nationals as spies and removing them from the country; refusal to recognize transgender identification; and removal of the word marriage from official documents.....
Democrats, who began lambasting the local GOP over the weekend, demanded more action on Monday morning. They called for Richburg to be removed.
The hate-filled priorities list she submitted is indefensible and not legitimate political discourse, Harris County Democratic Party chair Odus Evbagharu said in a statement. We condemn the promotion of hatred in any form and will continue to call out anyone who attempts to magnify messages of hate.
