BREAKING: Jeb Bush’s Tech Chief Quits After His Sexist Jokes Found on Twitter

Jeb Bush may have thought that his entrance into the hunt for the GOP nomination for president would be unchallenged, but lately he’s started having some trouble and today he has entered into “dump troublesome employee” mode. Bush just fired his technology chief when it was discovered that the man had a long series of off color and sexist jokes posted to social media.

Ethan Czahor, 31, the co-founder of Hipster.com, signed onto Bush’s campaign for president but immediately had to “resign”[1] over his ill-conceived jokes.

Ethan Czahor, the co-founder of Hipster.com, tweeted on Tuesday night that he was resigning as the head of the former Florida governor’s political action committee, ‘Right to Rise PAC.’

However, he added a dig at the online critics who brought him down, saying, ‘best of luck to everyone there, and i apologize in advance to whoever fills my position.’

On Monday, Mr Czahor came under fire after journalists pointed out that he was deleting old tweets – some dating back to 2009 – shortly after his hiring was announced.

The previous messages include: ‘New study confirms old belief: college female art majors are sl**s, science majors are also sl**s but uglier,’ one deleted tweet read, with an expired link.

Other deleted tweets include a couple gay panic jokes Czahor made about working out at the gym.

‘when i burp in the gym i feel like it’s my way of saying, “sorry guys, but i’m not gay,”‘ another said.

The Bush camp told Czahor to delete the tweets around the time his hire was announced, according to a spokesperson.

A Bush spokesman said that Jeb feels that the jokes were “inappropriate.”

But, Czahor is fired anyway as Bush’s campaign begins to falter.
