"A Republican candidate for the state legislature in Maine who called an outspoken Parkland shooting survivor a “skinhead lesbian" has dropped out of the race.
Leslie Gibson announced Friday he was ending his bid for a state House seat after he insulted 18-year-old Emma Gonzalez, who gave a rousing speech calling for gun control in the days following the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting that left 17 dead in Florida last month.
Despite his shocking attack, Gibson told the Press Herald on Friday, “I am not walking away with my head hung low. I am walking away with my head held high.”

It’s only a mistake if you didn’t intend to make the comment. The only thing he has learned is that he needs to be in a red state for those comments to get appreciated. I’ll let the comments in the thread prove my point.
