Republican National Committee Backtracks After Cringeworthy Attempt To Honor Rosa Parks

[Jesus Malverde]

The Republican National Committee backtracked on Sunday after sending out a cringeworthy tweet meant to honor Rosa Parks on the 58th anniversary of her arrest after refusing to give up her bus seat to a white man in Alabama.

The tweet, which was almost immediately mocked, also declared that Parks had helped "end" racism in the U.S.:

"Today we remember Rosa Parks’ bold stand and her role in ending racism. "

Previous tweet should have read "Today we remember Rosa Parks' bold stand and her role in fighting to end racism."
