[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 1445016, member: 1246"] Via [URL='http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/gop-official-goes-off-on-naacp-for-ignoring-mia-love-and-tim-scott/article/2555872?custom_click=rss&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter']Washington Examiner[/URL]: The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People on Thursday addressed the Nov. 4 midterm elections in a statement that failed to make any mention of the historic wins of Congresswoman-elect Mia Love, R-Utah, and Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C. Love is not only the first Haitian-American elected to Congress, but she is also the first African-American woman running as a Republican to be elected to Congress. Meanwhile, Sen. Scott’s victory on Tuesday makes him the first African-American senator to win an election in the South since the Reconstruction. Shortly after the NAACP released its Nov. 4 statement, which was first obtained by TownHall, GOP deputy press secretary Raffi Williams issued a series of tweets criticizing the organization for its failure to mark Love’s and Scott’s major wins. “If the [NAACP] was a truly bipartisan org thay [sic] would support all blacks not just dem Blacks,” he said in a tweet. “I wish an org like the [NAACP] would support black ppl of ideologies. Unfortunately they are proving how out of date they are.” The NAACP “should support all black ppl who are working to affect positive change in their communities. But they don’t,” he added. Williams complained in another tweet that the organization “wont celebrate black republicans.” [/QUOTE]
