An Arizona co-chair of Mitt Romney's presidential campaign resigned after announcing that he is gay.
Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu was forced to come out after allegations that he dated a Mexican immigrant and hosted a pornographic online profile.
The Romney campaign said they received a call from Babeu and accepted his resignation.
"Sheriff Babeu has stepped down from his volunteer position with the campaign so he can focus on the allegations against him. We support his decision," spokesperson Ryan Williams said.
Arizona is holding its primary on February 28, and all four candidates will be in the state Wednesday for a CNN-sponsored debate.
The Phoenix New Times reported Friday that Babeu's boyfriend "Jose" said the sheriff has an online pornographic profile he refused to take down. He also threatened "Jose" with deportation if he told anyone of their relationship....
Eerie.
There...fixed it(I hope).
