An Arkansas Circuit Court judge has withdrawn from the race for a seat on the state’s Court of Appeals and is under investigation for possible violations of the state’s Code of Judicial Conduct after making racist, sexist and homophobic comments on an online message board.
Mike Maggio admitted in a statement that he was responsible for the posts on the Louisiana State University fan site TigerDroppings.com. The comments, which date back to at least 2011, also accuse Arkansans of participating in incest and bestiality.
