Chairman of the Lawrence County Republican Party in Alabama, Shanon Terry, issued an apology after it appeared that the group shared imagery of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK).
The group received backlash after posting a photo of a GOP elephant with what appeared to be hooded figures between its legs.
The post congratulated Terry on becoming the new chairman.
Alabama House minority leader Anthony Daniels tweeted in response, “Shame on the Lawrence County Republican Party for this disgusting image.”
The Hill noted that the post was removed later that night and reposted with another image.
Terry took to the group’s Facebook page to issue an apology for the post.
“I would like to offer a deep and sincere apology for a picture that temporarily appeared on this page last night,” he said.
Terry continued, “A Google search picture of a GOP elephant was used and later found to have hidden images that do not represent the views or beliefs of the Lawrence County Republican Party. The picture was then immediately replaced. As chairman I take full responsibility for the error.”
Additionally, Terry released a statement
