New Bush tech hire announced; said hire then…wait for it…scrubs Twitter of sexist, homophobic Tweets

As word spread about the Jeb Bush presidential almost-campaign tapping Ethan Czahor as their new chief technology officer Monday, it didn't take too long for the Internet to dig up some old things he said on Twitter that were, well, off color.

Czahor is founder of Hipster.com (whatever that was now reroutes to aol.com) and served as chief technology officer for Honest, a company launched by actress Jessica Alba.

And he really, really hates sluts. Or at least he used to.

See?

Oh, and The Gays.

Until he deleted a cache of Tweets unearthed by the powers of the Internet, his past social media indiscretions were there for all to see; there for the enjoyment of Gawker and Buzzfeed, and probably Reddit before that.

Granted, many were from more than five years ago, and people change, and he insists he was just being young and dumb.

And because he's been deemed worthy to serve in the noble arena of national politics, we believe him!

According to the New York Times, Bush spokeswoman Kristy Campbell said the campaign asked him to remove the Tweets, but they still think he's wonderful.

“Governor Bush believes the comments were inappropriate,” she said. “Ethan is a great talent in the tech world, and we are very excited to have him on board the Right to Rise PAC.”

In that same story, Democratic National Committee spokeswoman Rebecca Chalif chastised the campaign for their hire.

“These statements don’t belong in a schoolyard screaming match, much less in our political discourse,” Chalif said. “If this is the kind of guy Jeb’s team has chosen to lead their digital outreach, it’s clear they are not ready for prime time.”
