An alcohol-fueled obscenity and racial slur-laced tirade have cost a Miami senator his job.
CBS Miami reports Republican Sen. Frank Artiles officially submitted his letter of resignation on Friday.
...Artiles was chastised for using a form of the “n-word” during an exchange with two African-American colleagues Monday night. It happened when he was out with fellow Senators Audrey Gibson from Jacksonville and Perry Thurston from Fort Lauderdale.

So congratulations, hypocrites. A scalp is yours.
And the loss of privacy, the double standard of the media and the Democrats (but I repeat myself) and the knee knocking Republicans have hurt another person.
Oh, by the way--IIRC, the guy was a freshman who had just defeated a Democrat in November. So let's see if anyone will trust eating dinner with these Democrats in the future and if any Republican in that Senate district will dare run for office, seeing as how their own party turned on them in the future.
And, let's see if any off the cuff remarks by President Trump (the supposed "outtakes from 'The Apprentice'")--if they truly exist--will be condemned by Pam Bondi, etc.
The guy said he was sorry. He used the same language (I dont' use that language, btw, so it isn't a hobby horse for me) that the porn producing "celebrity" Snoop Dogg uses in his "music" and the language used by African American people every day.
So remember folks, this key mantra of the American left: All animals are equal, and some animals are more equal than others.
I boted for him and he is stupid for resigning
Gop have no spine.
This is how the left wins when they can’t get people to vote for them “outrage” over something until someone is fired or resigns from office. Too bad GOP have no spine.
I heard he was just reciting the lines from his favorite RAP song...
His resignation illustrates how out-of-touch he was with his voting base.
That is just stupid.
I’ve heard way worse from the other side and watching TV.
Ridiculous....
What does “a form of the “n-word”” mean?
We're livng in a crazy culture.
“What does “a form of the “n-word”” mean?”
Probably “african american” or some such
Can’t we have some intelligent people on our side that know when to STFU and not drink ? Then cry like a baby and resign...what a POS!
Maybe he said “negro?”
He said “niggardly”. People with a small vocabulary were offended.
“I boted for him and he is stupid for resigning”
Actually, you didn’t need to add “for resigning”.
“I boted for him and he is stupid” would suffice.
Republicans are subjected to a different set of rules than leftists, blacks, and America-haters.

At least he is only a STATE Senator! Hw much more damaging it would be for a US Senator to resign over such BS!! Nevertheless, he should not have resigned! Sad!!!!
Why can’t the Dim “lawmakers” who praise and egg on the violent “resistance” protesters and domestic terrorists resign? The first to go should be the despicable Elizabeth Warren!! PHOOEY to her!!!!
I looked it up. He said “the n-word” but said he actually said “niggas” not -ers.
That what is meant by a variation of the n-word.
If a Republican will replace him, it seems a stupid drunk will have been gotten rid of and that’s an improvement.
Kind of a political Darwin Award.
I think that official used the word “niggardly” (which
means “stingy”) and another official used a word in a
speech referring to some race in a slang term.
