Jeb Bush Staffer Praised Martin Luther King Jr. For Not Wearing ‘Pants Sagged To His Ankles’

WASHINGTON — The new chief technology officer of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush’s recently formed political action committee, who made headlines this week for previously making inflammatory remarks on Twitter, once praised Martin Luther King Jr. for not speaking in “‘jibberish’ or ‘slang’” as well as for not wearing “pants sagged to his ankles.”

Ethan Czahor made the comments in January 2008 while working as the host of the radio program “The Ethan Show” at East Stroudsburg University in Pennsylvania. The show’s website is no longer operational, but the site and Czahor’s remarks have been preserved by the Wayback Machine, a service of the Internet Archive. A statement on the original site’s “About Me” section reads “My name is Ethan Czahor.”

For one, included in the opening ceremony was the Pledge of Allegiance. Seriously? Isn’t that like the opposite of what the Tea Party movement is all about? Think about it: I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. That means no matter what happens, no matter what the flag represents, whether capitalism, socialism, liberalism, or conservatism, you swear that you will always be an ally. Ha! An ally of socialism is something I’ll never be, thank you very much. My only “pledge of allegiance” is to myself and my family. Now that’s the good stuff our founding fathers would go for.

Spokespersons for Bush and for his Right to Rise PAC did not immediately return a request for comment.
