White House or Black House?
The Republican Party of Texas will donate $1,500 to charity. It received the money from leasing a booth at its state convention to a vendor who sold racist buttons, according to reports.
The booth selling the racist pin was leased by Jonathan Alcox of Florida according to the Dallas Morning News.
Texas Republican’s spokesperson, Hans Klinger, said the Republicans have been unsuccessful in trying to reach the vendor, Republicanmarket.com, who sold pins, scarves, and other items last weekend.
So, instead, the part is sending a letter saying that he isn’t allowed to sell any items at any further state GOP events.
The Republican Party has not decided which charity will receive its donation.
Klinger went on to say that he and Republican leaders believe the pin is distasteful and they hated that it was being sold at their event, which he said was upbeat and dedicated to unity.
