While speaking at the Texas Democratic Party convention in Dallas on Friday, state Rep.Trey Martinez Fischer told fellow Democrats that GOP doesn't stand for "Grand Old Party," it stands for “gringos y otros pendejos." In addition to the racist slur, Martinez Fischer's office handed out a set of six Lotería cards to delegates, one of which depicts a red-faced Abbott as “El Diablito.”
A Google search found that other than the Houston Chronicle and a few other sites, the racist profanity was largely ignored by the so-called "mainstream media."
GOP gubernatorial nominee Greg Abbott's campaign, however, did not ignore the slur and fired back.
“Wendy Davis and her allies beliefs that all Anglos and Republicans are ‘gringos’ and ‘pendejos’ is both despicable and insulting to the hundreds of thousands non Anglos that support Greg Abbott, including his own multicultural family,” Abbott campaign spokesman Avdiel Huerta said. Abbott's wife, the Chronicle said, is Mexican-American.
“Instead of trying to sell her out of touch ideas like ObamaCare and higher taxes, it appears Sen. Davis new strategy is one of desperation,” Huerta added.
Martinez Fischer did not offer an apology and doubled down on his overheated rhetoric.

Now what would happen if a Republican uses racist profanity describe an liberal democrat?
