Colorado Republican who called Black people 'chimps' says she's not apologizing 'since I’m Hispanic'
A Colorado Republican running to represent the 3rd District in the state House of Representatives apparently thinks racism is her best ticket to office.
When GOP candidate Marla Fernandez’s opponent, Democrat Rep. Meg Froelich, tweeted about securing an essential endorsement, Froelich included a photo of herself alongside three other Black and Hispanic candidates. Fernandez, who Fox 31 identified as a "longshot Republican candidate," called the women “chimps.”
Fernandez refused to apologize for what she explained was initially an accident, according to Fox 31.
