Charlie McCaslin, chairman of the Texas College Republicans, has resigned from his post following the emergence of a video in which the Southern Methodist University junior is heard calling the opponents of National College Republicans candidate Alex Schriver "fags."
McCaslin used the slur during a toast to Schriver who himself is heard reacting favorably to the speech by cheering “To Charlie!” McCaslin, who seems inebriated in the video, is over the legal drinking age of 21.
According to the site The Other McCain, "Schriver called McCaslin’s comments 'inappropriate and highly offensive,' and warned that 'it is possible that some could incorrectly interpret my actions to be supportive” of McCaslin’s remarks. 'I regret putting myself in that situation,' Schriver said in the statement. 'I hope that any who were offended will accept my sincere apology.'”
McCaslin was elected as state CR chair only last month and Schriver is currently vice-chairman of the national organization.
McCaslin posted his resignation letter on the Texas College Republicans Facebook page.
