GOP = Party of Haters

Virginia GOP treasurer sorry he called Republican woman lawmaker a ‘sexist tw*t’

The treasurer of the Republican Party of Virginia, Bob FitzSimmonds, reportedly apologized on Tuesday after referring to a woman elected official in his party as a “sexist tw*t” on Facebook.

According to the right-leaning blog Mason Conservative, FitzSimmonds made the remarks after former Republican Party of Virginia communications director Shaun Kenney posted an article about how GOP candidate Howie Lind had angered donors by switching from the Senate race to the congressional race without offering refunds.

During a discussion in the comments section, screen shots show FitzSimmonds discussing Republican Virginia House of Delegates member Barbara Comstock with someone named Heather.

“I have nothing against Barbara Comstock, but I hate sexist tw*t,” FitzSimmonds allegedly wrote back. “I hope this is you Heather and not Barbara.”

(end snip)

I am speechless. I wish they would quit turning over rocks, and having scum like this crawl out and take high GOP jobs. Nice outreach to women, there, GOPers! (sarcasm off)
