A 19-year-old Wisconsin Republican running for state assembly dropped out of his race after admitting to using offensive language on social media.
On Sept. 11, Jacob Dorsey apologized for a "hurtful" tweet that said, f*gs need 2 leave my favorite state alone. He dropped out of the race Wednesday after admitting he'd used other offensive language while referencing black people and gay people in YouTube comments.
