From HuffPo:
"Republican Congressional candidate Paul Babeu, currently serving as a sheriff in Arizona, stepped down on Saturday from his position as the co-chair for the Mitt Romney presidential campaign in the state, after an explosive allegation from a Mexican man, who claims to be his ex-boyfriend, that Babeu threatened him with deportation to Mexico.
"'Sheriff Babeu has stepped down from his volunteer position with the campaign so he can focus on the allegations against him,' Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul confirmed in an email to The Huffington Post. 'We support his decision.'
"In a press conference Saturday, Babeu said the allegations are false, but confirmed that he is gay, something he had not previously discussed. According to a tweet by the Arizona Capitol Times from the speech, 'I am gay,' he said.
"The Phoenix New-Times broke the story about the Mexican man, which it referred to by only his first name, Jose. Babeu is both a staunch Republican and a hawk on border security -- making the allegations all the more surprising and potentially damaging." (emphasis added)
All the while his constituents thought he was patrolling the border, the self-loathing hypocrite was really just trolling the border.
