Texas GOP House candidate walks back earlier dismissal of offensive tweets

Jorge Borrego, the Republican nominee for Texas House District 118, apologized for past social media posts containing racial slurs and lewd language, saying they stemmed from a difficult childhood and dark humor. He had initially brushed off the posts, noting he was a teenager at the time. His Democratic opponent, Kristian Carranza, called the posts vulgar and said Borrego is unfit for office.
