The GOP delved into ethnic stereotypes on StPatricksDay, in a tweet some Republicans called 'vile' and 'racist.'
The Republican National Committee drew outrage for stoking an ethnic stereotype Sunday, tweeting a St. Patrick’s Day message of “please drink responsibly” with a doctored photo of Democratic presidential candidate — and “noted Irishman” — Beto O’Rourke’s 1998 mugshot for a DUI arrest.
— Justin Amash March 17, 2019 A number of Republican strategists joined the criticism. Doug Stafford, chief strategist for Sen. Rand Paul, implied that whoever sent the tweet was an “idiot.” This vile tweet is indicative of the bottom feeding @Gop led by this "president*" and his low traveling @GOPChairwoman. With Irish family members, as an American and a world citizen, this is an attack on all races. https://t.co/cctXb91wPU
