The GOP has long had trouble with messaging, and a recent tribute to Rosa Parks was no exception. The GOP’s original tweet seemed to suggest that Parks alone had ended racism.

Today we remember Rosa Parks’ bold stand and her role in ending racism. Of course, that tweet was immediately mocked by Michael Moore and others.

Did u know racism ended in 1955? RT @GOP: Today we remember Rosa Parks’ bold stand & her role in ending racism. The RNC issued a follow-up tweet attempting to correct the record.

Previous tweet should have read "Today we remember Rosa Parks' bold stand and her role in fighting to end racism."That’s more like it, but it doesn’t provide fodder for liberals to mock Republicans: enter the #RacismEndedWhen hashtag.
