After deleting their Facebook page in an attempt to cover up their “mistake,” a local GOP group in Alabama is apologizing after claiming it accidentally posted racist imagery on Tuesday. The imagery depicted a GOP elephant resembling the Ku Klux Klan. After posting the image, the Lawerence County Republican party claimed they intended to post a GOP elephant—not the one with legs drawn to resemble hooded Klansmen.
Fact-checking and thinking before posting on social media seem to be commonly neglected actions by members of the GOP. And, worse, forgetting that what you post online stays there forever, despite how fast you think you can delete it—but I guess one can try.
