(CNN) Two state Republican Party leaders in Delaware are facing backlash for comments on Facebook that their colleagues called homophobic and anti-Semitic. "His comment was offensive and did not reflect the values of respect and tolerance held dear by the Delaware Republican Party," Jane Brady, chair of the Delaware Republican Party, said in the statement. CNN has emailed the Sussex County GOP and Jordan for comment, but has not received a response. In the post, Rowe described what happened when another friend confronted him about using the derogatory word. Other political leaders around the state also condemned the comments made by the two leaders, with the state House Republican Caucus criticizing them for not apologizing.
