BuzzFeed gets a scoop on racist and anti-gay tweets from the teenaged son of Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake:

Sen. Jeff Flake’s high school-aged son Tanner used twitter to threaten the “faggot” who stole his bike that he “will find you, and … will beat the crap out of you,” joked about an acquaintance stealing one-liners because he’s Jewish, and went by the name “n1ggerkiller” in an online game.

“I’m very disappointed in my teenage son’s words, and I sincerely apologize for the insensitivity. This language is unacceptable, anywhere. Needless to say, I’ve already spoken with him about this, he has apologized, and I apologize as well,” Sen. Flake said in a statement to BuzzFeed.

  3. His father is a US Senator and he doesn’t have the brains to keep a lid on it? WhatanIdiot.

  5. Huummmm! I have to wonder “where” his teenage son got his Racist attitude and vocabulary from? I’m sure he didn’t get any of it from his father.
