Wisconsin GOPer Drops Out Of Race Over 'Fgs' And 'Nggers' Tweets [View all]

Source: TPM

A Wisconsin Republican dropped out of the race for a seat on the state assembly on Tuesday after he admitted that he made offensive comments about gay and black people on social media, according to The Gazette.

Jacob Dorsey, a 19-year-old candidate challenging Democratic state Rep. Deb Kolste, apologized last week for referring to gay people as "fags" in a tweet.

In December 2013, Dorsey tweeted "fags need 2 leave my favorite state alone" after a judge decided not to stay the ruling that struck down Utah's gay marriage ban, according to the NOManiancs blog.

In comments on YouTube videos, he used the words "fags" and "niggers." In one comment he said "Niggers trash cars. I'm not selling my town car to one..." according to NOManiac's screenshots, which were also posted on the Janesville Community Facebook page.
