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. The former candidate said he made the decision after talking it over with friends and family, calling it "the best thing for everybody." "I am not walking away with my head hung low. I am walking away with my head held high," Gibson said, according to the Press Herald. The Maine resident had come under fire for his comments about survivors of the Parkland, Fla., school shooting. "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. Gonzalez, a high schooler who identifies as bisexual, has become a vocal advocate for gun control in the weeks since the shooting. Gibson had also criticized another Parkland student and pro-gun control activist, David Hogg, calling him "a baldfaced liar."

“Fourteen in the side pocket.”
This proves that Dems are the corrupt party and GOP is the stupid party.
Dangit, didn’t see your quote there...Funny how certain things just stick, one of the funniest skits ever on SNL.
The shooting, from what I understand, was in the freshman building.
Hogg was hiding in a closet in another building on the campus.
I saw a clip of her? at the CNN ambush townhall.
Well, sometimes being too obvious about ‘how you see it’ really screws you...
I think one of the definitions of ‘diplomacy’ is ‘TACT’.
Why is the truth dumb
Very dumb statement. Republicans are just making it harder on themselves for not being disciplined in all facets of life. How dumb are you to say a thing about a 17 year old girl true or not. A guy no less by the name of Lesley....lol.
She was ‘frothing” at the mouth at the first press conference and she seemed out of control. By the way, who appointed her spokesthing for the students.
I smell a serious “set-up” re that press conference, and I mean ‘serious’.
Holy crap. She lived to 106? God bless that wonderful woman. Not many get to do that. I am amazed at Mrs. McCain who is also 106 and living.....I remember her at the 2012 Convention thinking how blessed she was to be alive and now 6 years later she is still doing great.
Thanks for the Bristol Stool Chart. Gives new meaning to the phrase “everything will come out in the end”.
I do recognize Hillary, Human, Pelosi, Schiff, Schumer, Durbin and Waters on the chart.
Maybe we can now refer to them by name and designation such as “Hillary Clinton, Bristol Stood #7”.
PLEASE give us a warning next time for that sort of graphic.
Many of us are still having dinner here in California.
Also, Douglas HS is known for their excellent media arts curriculum. Even IF there’s such a thing as crisis actors, there’s no need for them here, the kiddies are natural born drama queens who don’t need much coaching. They have all the answers. Too bad they don’t understand the questions. And too bad they lack the maturity to realize they’re being played by a bunch of opportunistic, Soros/DNC funded ghouls who have spontaneous orgasms whenever these tragedies occur. The hustle never ends with these scumbags.
don’t make fun of the kids, it is stupid and makes you look petty
The best thing to do with the CNN Kids is to just ignore them
They will go away
I think the fact we don’t lock them up anymore or execute them for sodomy, perverting children, and tribbing, is plenty of tact.
108. (1890-1998).
"This bald chick - what's with her head? Let's
start with the chick. What gives, cue ball? I'm
looking at you, I'm thinking: 14 in the side pocket!"
Lol. The Sinatra Group. This one even had Skinhead O’Connor...
