Riverside County GOP investigates derogatory Tweet about Hillary Clinton

The Riverside County GOP is investigating after someone working for the office tweeted out a derogatory Tweet about Hillary Clinton. The Tweet was quickly deleted after the office was alerted by the Press-Enterprise newspaper, but not before it created some drama throughout the office.

The Tweet shows an image of a hangman holding a noose with Hillary Clinton’s presidential logo, “I’m Ready for Hillary”.

Chairman Scott A. Mann said the person responsible for the Tweet will be held accountable.

Statement from Riverside County GOP:

“I was made aware of derogatory Tweet this afternoon toward Secretary Clinton when the Press-Enterprise called me for comment. I was horrified and had the Tweet taken down immediately. While some may think it was political satire, it clearly has no place in American political dialogue. As Chairman of the Republican Party of Riverside County, I apologize to everyone and anyone who was offended by it. I have taken steps to ensure that the individual who posted the Tweet no longer has access and I can assure you the person responsible will be held accountable.”

— Scott A. Mann, Chairman, Republican Party of Riverside County
