New Jeb Bush Hire Couldn’t Remove ‘Slut’ Tweets Fast Enough, but Bush Still Wanted Him as Staff

Photo Credit: TelegraphBy Breitbart News. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush on Monday decried messages posted to Twitter by a top technology aide as “inappropriate,” but a spokeswoman said the recent hire would remain with Bush’s nascent presidential campaign.

The distraction came on the same day Bush told supporters and former aides he is “singularly focused” on weighing a presidential bid, and as he prepared to release thousands of emails from his time as Florida’s chief executive and the first chapter of a related e-book to highlight what he called a compassionate leadership style with deep conservative credentials.

A Bush spokeswoman said he was disappointed to learn that Ethan Czahor – hired in January as chief technology officer of Bush’s Right to Rise political action committee – had posted messages on his personal Twitter account that referred to women as “sluts” and made remarks about gay men.

Within an hour, Czahor posted a new tweet, his first in months: “i deleted some old jokes i made years ago that i no longer find funny or appropriate. (hash)learning (hash)maturing”

Bush spokeswoman Kristy Campbell said Czahor, 31, the founder of Hipster.com, will stay in the role. (Read more about the new Jeb Bush hire’s tweets HERE)

The appointment of Ethan Czahor, who co-founded Hipster.com, as chief technology officer was only announced on Monday . . .

“While Ethan has apologised for regrettable and insensitive comments, they do not reflect the views of Governor Bush or his organisation, and it is appropriate for him to step aside,” said Kristy Campbell, a spokeswoman for Mr Bush.

American media reported that Mr Bush knew about the comments before his organising team hired Mr Czahor. (Read more from this story HERE)
