UPDATE 1:40 p.m.: Charitable Humans, a tax-exempt charity, has egg on its face after its social media staffer reportedly Tweeted a hate-filled message saying the organization would not provide assistance to “any Red State.”

The charity deleted the tweets and issued an apology, saying: There are no words to express the distaste and hateful words that our Social Media Coordinator unleashed on what was supposed to represent Charitable Humans, an organization that has engaged in global humanitarianism activities in war-torn and severely impoverished nations since 2005.

Very telling.

Wow...

But I really would not expect anything more from the American Left.

They are that low.

Just looked up this POS LinkedIn...which hasn’t been update in 6 months, but managed to slam Trump

And then there was this:

“The virtues of freedom that Americans endear would best be represented by extending Constitutional rights to all visitors to our nation.”

“Visitors” = code words for “undocumented ‘workers’”

To them conservatives are not human.
Their lives are less than nothing. They are the root of problems and should be exterminated.

What one wants exterminated, one must first dehumanize.

'Tis why I get nervous when libs start throwing around loaded terms like "racists" and "Nazis" every time they lose an argument with a conservative.

"Joe, the guy next door with his wife and three kids" is a person.

"Joe the Racist Nazi" is something that it's OK to eliminate.

Visitors to our “nation” already have constitutional rights. What they do not have is a right to vote.

Where is the "apology"?

I did not see the critical word to an apology, sorry, anywhere in the statement.

Technically they’re not sorry, just sorry that their employee told the truth.

The full apology, has to be a joke:

We’re Horrified By Our Twitter Actions
There are no words to express the distaste and hateful words that our Social Media Coordinator unleashed on what was supposed to represent Charitable Humans, an organization that has engaged in global humanitarianism activities in war-torn and severely impoverished nations since 2005. The purpose of our charity was, and so remains, to make the world a better place by focusing on a larger mandate of cultivating a global citizenship initiative along with an online platform for active engagement, and a platform to help people and nonprofit organizations like ours further the reach and impact of good deeds.

We don’t condone the denouncement or imperilment of any human, individual or group, no matter what atrocities they might guilty of; ultimately because that serves no useful purpose and is rather an impairment to progressive change. Our views extend equally toward those that do good and evil in the world, for both have much to teach us about the state of humanity. We’re not for a moment implying that the targets in which the Tweets offensive content are either good, bad, or otherwise because we don’t believe those words are more than labels based upon an individuals perception of an other.

We take full responsibility for this outrageous lack of leadership, for which there is no excuse, though there is an explanation we’d like to put forward in the interest of transparency. We are not a large organization, and we’ve invested much time and sacrifice trying to undertake an endeavor that is much greater than we have the resources or team members to focus on at the capacity needed.

While continuing in our humanitarian programs, we’re also working to develop further the massive program that we envision shortly coming to fruition. Our website has much work that needs doing, and we’re not at the stage where any postings or social media activity, beyond future announcements, are warranted. Since that hasn’t been our focus, we haven’t paid any consideration whatsoever to our social media channels, else greater concern and action would have halted this level of conduct much earlier. We failed in this oversight and sincerely apologize.

We have closed down the social media accounts, though there will be other content distribution channels that we’re exploring could exist, and as that is underway, we will take similar action as we become more aware of the situation.

Half the team is out of the country at this time, so please bear with us as we fumble through this unexpected terrain in a field we have little experience in, which is more visible to the world and ourselves at this time for reasons that are clear to all. We hope that people reserve judgment of our organization as a whole until our project can stand on its own merits once it’s up and running.

We have learned many lessons from the nightmare of an experience and again apologize deeply to all those undergoing an already treacherous crisis that seems to be getting much worse with each news update. Hopefully, the response teams, professional service providers, and infrastructure that will be critical to the relief efforts will deploy with utter urgency and sufficient levels to get people the support they need.

The Charitable Humans Team

Is this seriously the full apology? The second paragraph implies that indeed a red state is evil, but they serve good and evil? My paraphrasing.
The IRS should look into their tax status.

Actually the “charitable humans” sounds like that charity George made up on Seinfeld.

Isn’t Houston a democratic city, like most big cities? The mayor is a dem.
