SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO.com) -- A 4th of July tweet from a man who is the Executive Director of the South Dakota Democratic Party has caused some backlash on conservative social media.
Sam Parkinson tweeted on his personal account a movie quote that he says was just a joke:
It's from the cult classic "Dazed and Confused."
'...Just remember what you're celebrating...the fact that a bunch of slave-owning aristocratic white males didn't want to pay their taxes...'
Parkinson tells Kelo.com News that the tweet was in jest on his personal account, and not in his leadership role with the State Democrats.
