That tweet was sent out the day before gunmen opened fire on five Black Lives Matter protesters.

The 7th Congressional District GOP's Twitter account linked to an online blog Monday night that blamed Democrats for ongoing issues in Minnesota's black community. The party's tweet quoted the blog with the hashtag "#Negroproblem."

The 7th Congressional District GOP borrowed the term from a Conservative blog post they shared on both Facebook and Twitter on Sunday, according to the Associated Press.

In response, state Republican Party Chairman Ken Downey tweeted that the person who is in charge of the local party's social media accounts was "relieved of duties" and added "my apologies to all for their posts."
