Disgraced Party Chair Apologizes for GOP Racism
TPM Editors Blog
One of the first to really bring the Crazy mainstream was Florida GOP Chairman Jim Greer who went public accusing the president of using "taxpayer dollars are being used to spread President Obama's socialist ideology."
Well, a lot has changed since then.
The Crist-Rubio feud let to implosion of the Florida GOP (the aptly abbreviated RPOF) , which laid bare the fact that most everyone involved in it was involved in some level of self-dealing. And Greer at least as much as anyone. He got charged with six felony counts of fraud, theft, and money laundering in connection with a company he allegedly created to take a cut of the state party's fundraising revenues. (He pled not guilty.)
Well, the intervening year seems to have led to some changes of opinion on Greer's part. Yesterday he sent an email to the president apologizing for what he now refers to as a "prepared statement" ...
"In the year since I issued a prepared statement regarding President Obama speaking to the Nation's school children, I have learned a great deal about the party I so deeply loved and served. Unfortunately, I found that many within the GOP have racist views and I apologize to the President for my opposition to his speech last year and my efforts to placate the extremists who dominate our Party today. My children and I look forward to the President's speech."
