Utah’s top Democratic lawmakers — both women of color — are sounding off on what they say are “repeated racially-charged actions by elected officials on social media platforms,” they wrote in a statement posted to Twitter on Tuesday.
Lee replied, referring to Jackson, “You’re smarter than that ... . It’s not demonizing a black woman to speak facts about her. She’s a diversity hire. And it’s shown time and time again. She can’t even define what a woman is. How would you feel if the only reason you got hired was based on your skin color?”
The Tribune reported last year that Lee, then the Republican nominee to fill the seat for House District 16, operated aand criticize Republican Gov. Spencer Cox as “spineless” for supporting transgender girls in athletics. Lee secured the GOP nomination over longtime incumbent Rep. Steve Handy, whose write-in campaign Lee went on to defeat in the general election.
“Presenting one face publicly while posting demeaning comments behind a hidden Twitter account is disrespectful to the people and the electoral process,” Wilson said.
