Candidate Leslie Gibson, who called student activist, "Skinhead Lesbian" just dropped out of race

[Maraya1969]

A Republican running for the Maine state legislature is dropping out of the race following criticism for calling one of the survivors of last month’s mass shooting at a Florida high school a “skinhead lesbian.”

Leslie Gibson announced on Friday that he was ending his campaign for the Maine House of Representatives, the Portland Press Herald reported.

“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 tweeted in response to a report about Parkland student Emma Gonzalez.

1. Wasn't he running unopposed?

Until this. Sayonara, fuckface.

3. A young woman entered the race

to run against him, right before the deadline to file. Now she, a democrat, seems to be running unopposed.

4. oh really? lmao...I thought someone else slipped in.

So she's going to default win? L M A O

7. That's what I meant:

he was running unopposed until he opened his pie hole...or whatever hole.

Buh bye, loser.

2. Adios, MoFo

5. That Is Great!

Even better that the person who jumped in the race specifically after being disgusted by his comment, is now going to be elected. I believe it is too late to file, so unless there is some loophole the repubs intend to attempt to exploit, she'll be unopposed.

6. Skinhead Lesbians - I think they got added to Coachella!

8. Leslie Gibson was running unopposed on Tuesday

The deadline to file for a Democrat was Thursday. He just had to keep his yapper shut for 48 hours, and another term was most likely his. Couldn't do it. Which is why he's a Republican.
