Why would a MAINE GOP candidate trashmouth a kid from Florida? For any reason? He was supposed to be in a runaway election--for him.

A controversial Republican political hopeful in Maine has ended his campaign following widespread outrage after he slandered Parkland shooting massacre survivor Emma Gonzalez as a “skinhead lesbian” the Sun Journal reported Friday.

“It’s the best thing for everybody,” Gibson said.


“There is nothing about this skinhead lesbian that impresses me and there is nothing that she has to say unless you’re a frothing at the mouth moonbat,” Gibson wrote on Twitter, before “protecting” his account.

Gibson also attacked Parkland student David Hogg as “a bald faced liar” in another tweet. “Hogg doesn’t get a pass when he blatantly lies.”

On Friday, having lost a such a public feud to two Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students, Gibson withdrew from the race.

There is a god, after all....

Yet another example of the ignorance and hate common to most conservatives, and the authoritarian right’s fear of dissent and free expression.

Sounds a lot like people on this forum.

That's the biggest problem with politics is that the politicians are becoming more and more like the voters who don't know and don't care about reality.

 

[Lysistrata]

This is just another example of the GOP running the most primitive and lowlife people for office, and then expecting decent people to vote for them and becoming angry when we don't. Remember Saccone in Pennsylvania declaring that Democrats "hate America" and "hate God"?
It says a lot about the low quality of the people who are willing to vote for this scum.

Why would he do it? Because he is an idiot. Must be a Trump supporter.

And well he should drop out. That was almost as bad as calling anyone who disagrees with you a deplorable.

He seems nice.
