From The Son Of GOP Sen. Jeff Flake

Via Buzzfeed:

Sen. Jeff Flake’s high school–aged son Tanner used Twitter to threaten the “faggot” who stole his bike that he “will find you, and … will beat the crap out of you,” joked about an acquaintance stealing one-liners because he’s Jewish, and went by the name “n1ggerkiller” in an online game. “I’m very disappointed in my teenage son’s words, and I sincerely apologize for the insensitivity. This language is unacceptable, anywhere. Needless to say, I’ve already spoken with him about this, he has apologized, and I apologize as well,” Sen. Flake said in a statement to BuzzFeed.

RELATED: Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ), since you are probably wondering, is relatively moderate on LGBT issues.  Although he twice voted for a federal ban on same-sex marriage while a member of the House, he did vote for the repeal of DADT and in 2007 he voted in favor of ENDA.  He has boasted of his 100% rating from the FRC, however.  The Human Rights Campaign scored him at 20% in their most recent report.
