Delaware GOP says Democratic Sen. Bryan Townsend should resign over Rush Limbaugh meme [View all]

The head of the Delaware Republican Party says a Democratic state senator should resign after the lawmaker posted a meme on social media likening conservative radio personality Rush Limbaugh to a member of the Ku Klux Klan.

"As a member of the Senate, he's demeaned the entire body of the state Senate," said Delaware GOP Chairwoman Jane Brady. "What he did is offensive. ... I've already heard some people calling for his resignation."

She's referring to a meme that Sen. Bryan Townsend, D-Newark, posted on Twitter on Saturday.

It was a cartoon of several hooded figures in white cloaks, presumably made to look like members of the KKK. One of the figures appears to be wearing a medal, similar to the Presidential Medal of Freedom that President Donald Trump awarded Limbaugh during the State of the Union speech last week. Shortly before receiving the medial, Limbaugh had revealed he has been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer.
