Arizona congressional candidate Paul Babeu’s ex-boyfriend spoke to CNN on Monday, saying he felt “used” and threatened by the Pinal County Sheriff after their relationship ended.
Babeu’s ex-lover Jose, a 34-year-old Mexican national, told CNN’s Miguel Marquez that Sheriff Babeu threatened to have him deported if he went public with their affair. Jose’s face is pixilated in the interview.
Jose — who said he is in the country legally — told Marquez he felt “used” during the affair. Marquez then asked Jose, “Used. And then threatened?”
“Yes,” Jose said in the interview. “I got a text from him, directly, on my phone saying that I will never have business, that my family will be contacted.”
Jose said Babeu threatened him with deportation if he exposed their affair. “Do you think he was trying to make you leave the country?” Marquez asked.
“Maybe,” Jose said. “He just, what I think he just want me to keep me as far as, so I don’t say anything about him or about his behavior.”
They met in 2006 on a gay dating website called gay.com, and Jose said the first picture Babeu sent was a photo of him with Sen. John McCain.
Jose also told Marquez that Babeu never asked him what his status was during the course of their relationship, and said he is in the United States on a ten-year multiple entry tourist visa.
Babeu has stepped down as a co-chair of Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign after Jose’s story was reported in the Phoenix New Times, but said he will continue with his congressional campaign. At his press conference on Saturday, Babeu acknowledged he is gay, but denied Jose’s allegations that he threatened to deport him once their relationship ended.
“All of the allegations are false except one, I am gay,” Babeu said on Saturday.
Threatened to deport him if he went public? How about a little table turning by charging the sheriff with aiding and abetting a criminal?
Um, because the guy's a Republican?
and before this came out, was likely gonna win the seat for the GOP

True, and as you said, even with heterosexual marriage we are talking “used to be”. The way the laws are in our country nowadays, we don’t even have heterosexual marriage anymore, so what exactly are the gays clamoring to be included in? Marriages nowadays are just non-binding contracts designed to redistribute wealth.
I like to remind people that a cell phone contract is harder to legally dissolve than a marriage. Which is true. And which is a sure sign we’re in BIG trouble.
