Most of Mr. Higbie’s offensive comments, which were unearthed by CNN, were made in 2013 and 2014. “And it was just poor class.”In one “Sound of Freedom” broadcast, Mr. Higbie said he opposed homosexuality in part because he was “molested by a gay guy” when he was a child, CNN reported. “People say, ‘You know, you’re so harsh,’” he said on Warrior Talk Radio in August 2014. “We’ve done it based on race, we’ve done it based on religion, we’ve done it based on region,” Mr. Higbie told Ms. Kelly. The White House on Saturday confirmed that it had accepted Mr. Higbie’s resignation but offered no additional comment.
