Report: Flake Apologizes For Son’s Offensive Slurs On Twitter

[savalez]

Sen. Jeff Flake’s (R-AZ) high school aged son, Tanner, repeatedly published racial, homophobic and anti-Semitic slurs on his personal Twitter account, Buzzfeed reported on Wednesday.

On his Twitter account earlier this year, which has since been locked, Tanner threatened the "faggot" who stole his bike, writing I "will find you, and...will beat the crap out of you." He also called someone a "Jew" for stealing people's ideas and went by the name “n1ggerkiller” in an online game, which he posted screenshots of on his Twitter account.

Arizona Senator Takes His Two Boys To Deserted Island For Survivalist Adventure

n the old days, there was little question about what it meant to be “a man.” Men had male bodies and did “guy things” that included hunting, fighting, and leaving the toilet seat up. Today, though, with people encouraged to select their own gender identity and the traditional masculine pursuits of guns and war being denigrated and, if possible, destroyed, defining what constitutes manliness is challenging. If actions speak louder than words, Arizona Senator Jeff Flake (R) clearly thinks that part of growing up to be a man is complete self-reliance. That certainly may explain why he took his two teenage sons to a tropical island that had no food or fresh water for a four day survivalist vacation.http://www.mrconservative.com/2013/06/18801-arizona-senator-takes-his-two-boys-to-deserted-island-for-survivalist-adventure/

He's a badass after surviving a controlled adventure!
