Allan Brauer is a communications chair for the Democratic Party of Sacramento who used his Twitter account Friday to wish that the children of Senator Ted Cruz aide Amanda Carpenter, “die from debilitating, painful and incurable diseases.”

He later apologized.

@amandacarpenter May your children all die from debilitating, painful and incurable diseases.

@amandacarpenter I am truly sorry for my tweet. I was very upset and lashed out. Your kids are not fair game either. My apologies.

Mr. Brauer is listed on the Sacramento Democrat Party’s website as a “longtime activist in the LGBT equality movement, starting as co-chair of the University of Chicago’s Lesbian/Gay Student Organization in the 1970s.”  This means that, on top of the fact that Brauer is a Democrat and Ms. Carpenter is an aide to the media’s latest bogeyman Ted Cruz, that the media will do everything in its power to play down and/or ignore his reprehensible behavior.

**UPDATE**

The Democratic Party of Sacramento County has forced Mr. Brauer to resign.
