The chairman-elect of the Harris County Republican Party Keith Nielsen is facing backlash for a social media post. In a now-removed post, the Harris County GOP Chair Facebook page posted a famous quote from Martin Luther King Jr. Nielsen has not yet started in his position as the Harris Countys party chair. "As only the Chair-elect at this time, Mr. Nielsen does not yet speak officially for the Harris County Republican Party nor does his Facebook page represent HCRP. I can only hope his current Facebook post is a truthful apology, and that he is indeed an admirer of Dr. Martin Luther King as he has stated today.
