Hoo boy.

The Daily Caller has done some great work. Needless to say, this isn’t it:

Say what?

@Elion_King @bmorrett @DailyCaller "Head N***** In Charge."

If you saw that ignorant @DailyCaller tweet about @Reince and were wondering what "HNIC" stands for, an explainer: http://t.co/B2eo2saGSC

Ugh. There just isn’t a good way to spin this.

The tweet was deleted quickly and replaced:

Hey @Reince, why didn't you tell us you were moonlighting as a rapper? Turns out GOP Chair is the boss: http://t.co/tPfpgr2Uk6 @alexpappas

@DailyCaller @Reince @AlexPappas i was wondering how long it was going to take to remove that HNIC post. WOW less than 10 seconds.

But the damage was already done.

@bmorrett @DailyCaller @owillis That is stepping in it all the way up to your neck, no denying.

— Tom Reynolds (@Beregond) May 30, 2013

Is it possible that the Daily Caller didn't know HNIC stands for Head Nigger In Charge? Possible but interesting how stupidity is an excuse

Yikes MT @bmorrett: WOW – @DailyCaller tweeted that Reince is "HNIC" & then deleted it. Who is running their twitter? pic.twitter.com/3FGTIB28Pv

WTF @dailycaller ?????????

— salleegal (@salleegal) May 30, 2013

Seconded RT @RBPundit: My suggestion would be for the @DailyCaller to quickly apologize.

— DC Dude (@DCDude1776) May 30, 2013

Twenty-nine minutes after sending the replacement tweet, the Daily Caller Twitterer posted an apology. Sort of:

Apologies for the earlier tweet, clearly been listening to too much Fashawn.

— The Daily Caller (@DailyCaller) May 30, 2013

What's Fashawn? RT @DailyCaller Apologies for the earlier tweet, clearly been listening to too much Fashawn.
