Critical of O'Connor's remarks, Allen West, the Texas GOP chair, posted a video to Twitter saying we would mail Democrats a pack of Oreos.

According to People, O’Connor had originally posted his comment in response to Scott’s latest TV appearance last Wednesday during President Joe Biden’s inaugural address to a joint session of Congress.

After delivering the Republican rebuttal speech, Scott, 55, received mounds of criticism. The controversial speech prompted Clay Cane, a Black radio host and author, to write how the rebuttal was flawed, arguing that Scott and other Republicans often downplay racism “while simultaneously playing the race card” in a piece for CNN.

According to Forbes, Rep. Pat Fallon, R-Tx., said the remark was “abhorrent, insulting and unforgivable.”
