JR Majewski, a controversial GOP House candidate in Ohio, is refusing to drop out of the race after referring to Special Olympics participants as "fucking retarded."
As Business Insider first reported earlier this month, Majewski made the disparaging comments during an appearance on a conservative podcast.
You know, no matter how hard you try, arguing on the Internet, it's like being in the Special Olympics," he said.
On Sunday, the Lucas County GOP — the largest party organization in Ohio's 9th congressional district — voted to censure Majewski for his comments.
