We see a lot of crazy shiznit on Twitter … c’mon, we cover people like Tom Arnold so we see CRAZY crazy stuff but to be honest, we may have never seen a sitting state senator tell someone to kill themselves.
No, we’re not making this up. Sidenote, it’s good to know even WE can still be shocked sometimes. Heh.
Take a look.
Did a Senator just write this to me? https://t.co/qhR0Uzarrv

Ok, so Senator Kevin Parker deleted it BUT other tweeps were good enough to grab it for us.
Gotta love those screenshots.

This truly may be a first for Twitchy.
Wowza. Bummer, Kev, tweets are forever no matter how quickly you delete them.
But hey, he sincerely apologizes:
I sincerely apologize. I used a poor choice of words. Suicide is a serious thing and and should not be made light of.
— Senator Kevin Parker (@SenatorParker) December 18, 2018
Wonder if people are taking his apology seriously.
Twitter is forever, Numbnuttz
Resign .. now !

A poor choice of words? You have to resign.

Calling someone a dirty word is a poor choice of words. Telling them to kill themselves?
Yeah, that’s more than just a poor choice of words, Kev.
Why don't you turn over all your office's parking placards as an apology? Since they were being used illegally…

Seems a good start.
This undoes so much of the progress the Democratic Party is striving for. Truly shameful.

Wow, when even Democrats are calling him out.
Nope. Nope. Nope. Way too little, way too late.

Completely unacceptable. ?
— Bryce Paschal (@BrycePaschal) December 18, 2018
Resign. Right now.
— Ryan D. Mutton (@RDMutt) December 18, 2018
Words have meaning, Kev. Sorry, not sorry.
