COLUMBIA, S.C. — Republicans in South Carolina's Lexington County are slated to meet Thursday night to weigh a possible reprimand for state Sen. Jake Knotts, the legislator who used an ethnic slur to describe GOP gubernatorial candidate Nikki Haley.
Knotts, who used the term "raghead" to describe both Haley and President Barack Obama, could be censured by the county GOP or called to resign from office or leave the party, a Republican aide said.
“They can’t do anything that will have a practical effect, but it’s symbolic,” the aide said.
BUT POLITICO will asterisk out "raghead" in comments:
