Richard Grenell's resignation

            Mit Romney’s newly hired national security spokesman, Richard Grenell has just resigned from the position, only 2weeks after being appointed. His statement:

While I welcomed the challenge to confront President Obama's foreign policy failures and weak leadership on the world stage, my ability to speak clearly and forcefully on the issues has been greatly diminished by the hyper-partisan discussion of personal issues that sometimes comes from a presidential campaign.

I want to thank Governor Romney for his belief in me and my abilities and his clear message to me that being openly gay was a non-issue for him and his team.

The Republican Party is now celebrating their “major” success. Apparently, if you are a homosexual, your brain capacity is lessened to the point where you no longer deserve to speak on anything, no matter how qualified you are. Or so say the conservatives.
But upon further research on this scandal, you realize there is a little more than just the gay issue for this national security spokesman. He also seems to have a bit of a twitter problem, making jabs at mostly the appearances of democratic woman. A large majority of his tweets were quite offensive, and his defense was:

"My tweets were written to be tongue-in-cheek and humorous but I can now see how they can also be hurtful. I didn’t mean them that way and will remove them from twitter. I apologize for any hurt they caused."

However, if you look at what Grenell said, the comments made were not very humorous at all, rather just him taking low ball hits on women who believe differently than him.
It seems that the situation probably involved Romney firmly suggesting that Grenell resign. The election this year will have a main emphasis on foreign policy, what with the new peace arrangements with Afghanistan, so this portion of Romney’s campaign must be very strong. With offensive tweets in his background, Grenell no longer seems like a very good option  and more just like a dick.
Props to him though for pulling the oppression-against-gays-card. While it is true that gay rights are still being fought for and that population is not equally represented or accepted in our society, I highly doubt that is the only reason for his resignation. Just because he is a social minority, doesn’t mean he can be a dick to whomever he wants.
