I thought maybe someone hacked his Facebook account or got his password somehow. Maybe not, but I thought it was possible considering how vile the post was. I mean, even if he actually thought those things how stupid can an aspiring politician be to post them? Yeah, don't laugh too hard. But then he went and publicly "apologized" for it and out went any lingering doubt.
