Minnesota State Rep. Ryan Winkler, a Democrat, was so incensed by the Supreme Court's decision to strike down a key part of the Voting Rights Act that he called Justice Clarence Thomas an "Uncle Thomas" in a Tuesday tweet.
Winkler's since-deleted tweet said: "VRA majority is four accomplices to race discrimination and one Uncle Thomas," according to the Minnesota Star Tribune. His comment was made in reference to the "Uncle Tom" epithet.
