Another Republican Congressman is apologizing for homophobic and racist tweets sent by his teenage son.

Joey Heck, the 16-year-old son of Nevada Rep. Joe Heck referred to President Obama as a "f----t" and "n---a", praising former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney for making the Democrat "his slave" during a 2012 presidential debate.

The conservative Catholic politician said "that type of language has never been permitted in our home," of the messages posted on Twitter by the youngest of his three children.

The incendiary sentiments were put online between August 2012 and May of 2013 and uncovered Thursday by BuzzFeed.

"My son also apologizes for his insensitive behavior. My wife and I have addressed this family matter directly with him and he has learned from it," the boy's father,51, added.

The incendiary sentiments were put online between August 2012 and May of 2013 and uncovered Thursday by BuzzFeed.

The Nevada teen, who just finished the 10th grade, said "Romney raped Obama" in a presidential debate and lauded the former Republican candidate for making the Democrat "his slave," according to BuzzFeed.

"Crack that whip Romney," Heck wrote last year in another message. Yet another post skewered Obama, indicating all he could do was "spear chucking and rock skipping. The sports they do in his home country."

Homophobic messages also populated his Twitter account.

"There are gays everywhere. Maybe that's gods way of thinning out the population because f----ts can't have babies," he posted in a retweeted message.

Joey's tweets were made public shortly after BuzzFeed also broke the news of homophobic, racist and anti-Semitic social media postings from Tanner Flake, the teenage son of Republican Sen. Jeff Flake.

The Arizona Republican similarly said that he was disappointed in his son and offered assurances that his son had apologized.

I wonder where Joey learned such language and beliefs? I bet it wasn't far from home.
