How Tacky: Classless New York Democrat Tells a GOP Staffer to 'Kill Herself'

Things got heated between New York State Senator Kevin Parker (D) and Candice Giove, the Deputy Communications Director for the New York State Senate Majority, which is held by the Republican Party. According to the Daily Caller, the exchange was over a blocked bike lane:

It all started with a tweet about a bike lane in New York, blocked by cars allegedly abusing placards to park where they shouldn’t. New York State Senate Majority’s deputy communications director Candice Giove dug a little deeper and claimed that one of the placards belonged to Sen. Parker — but the vehicle was not the same one to which the placard was legally assigned.

Here's how the conversation went:

It got to the bottom of this. The placard is assigned to @SenatorParker. However, the license plate # on the placard does not match the vehicle. So he either used it in another car or gave it to someone to use, both of which are not permitted. https://t.co/dcu6ZUyVVO

Parker replied but then quickly deleted what he said:

And then he came back with an apology:

I sincerely apologize. I used a poor choice of words. Suicide is a serious thing and and should not be made light of.

But it didn't take long for him to attack Giove and her stance as a Republican.
