A Bush spokeswoman, Kristy Campbell, said Bush's Right to
Rise organization accepted the resignation of Ethan Czahor.
Bush, brother of former President George W. Bush, is exploring a
run for president in 2016 and is one of the frontrunners for the
Republican nomination.
"While Ethan has apologized for regrettable and insensitive
comments, they do not reflect the views of Governor Bush or his
organization and it is appropriate for him to step aside. We
wish him the best," Campbell said in a statement.
Czahor, co-founder of Hipster.com, had deleted a variety of
tweets on Monday, several of which had referred to women in a
disparaging way, according to news reports.
On Tuesday, a liberal opposition research organization, American
Bridge, emailed to reporters a link to a story published by
Huffington Post, which reported Czahor was found to have made
insensitive comments about slain civil rights leader Martin
Luther King.
