Delaware's Republican party chairwoman Jane Brady has called for the resignation of a party official after he used in a slur for a gay man in a Facebook post.

New Castle County Republican Party Chairman Chris Rowe will resign from his appointed position this weekend, Delaware Online reported.

Rowe told the The Delaware News Journal that he wouldn't apologize for what he said, framing his comments as “locker room talk."

Brady also condemned the Facebook post of another party leader, Sussex County Republican Party Vice-Chairwoman Nelly Jordan calling it “offensive, hurtful and anti-Semitic," in a statement Thursday. In the post, Jordan says that many Jewish people, "in name only" are involved in making up a story to impeach the president, per the news source.

Since Jordan was elected to her post, Brady said that Jordan will have to decide personally whether or not to resign, or go through the process to be removed. Furthermore, the Delaware Republican leader said that GOP members must be cognizant of the diversity of the party.

“Our party includes individuals from all different backgrounds, joined together to advance the principles we old dear," Brady said in her statement.

"I am proud of Delaware Republicans and their support for the broad range of diversity that makes our party stronger," the news source reported Brady's statement read.
