Just two days after Jennifer Carnahan was elected chairwoman of the Minnesota Republican Party, she dealt with a Facebook post she called “repugnant hate speech.”

The post, from the 7th Congressional District Republican Party, called Democratic U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison a “head Muslim goat humper.”

Hours after being asked her thoughts about the post, Carnahan tweeted: “The hate speech from the 7th CD GOP does not reflect our party or the 7th CD. As chair, I will not tolerate this activity in our party.”

In a fuller Facebook post of her own, she said the post from the group was “repugnant” and that she asked for the immediate resignation of the person responsible for posting it.

The post, which appeared on the 7th District’s page for hours, was eventually taken down.

A few hours later, Carnahan said the person who made the post had resigned.

Democratic-Farmer-Labor chair Ken Martin said Carnahan should apologize to Ellison and to all Minnesotans.

“The ignorance and bigotry displayed in this post is staggering and disheartening. Americans across the country have witnessed a disturbing increase in this type of threatening behavior and fear mongering since the election of Donald Trump, and now it seems the Minnesota Republican Party is embracing it all too much,” he said in a statement.

Local party groups’ posting of offensive materials is not new. Four years ago, after a county Republican group’s Facebook page ignited controversy, then-chairman Keith Downey put forth a social media policy for party groups.

The policy said, among other guidance, “don’t use extreme terms or harsh language, this turns people away.”
