Babeu took time to clear up some of the allegations against him, confirming that he is indeed gay and had dated “José” privately over a period of three years. José had also volunteered to help Babeu in his campaign efforts, working on its website and handling social media outreach as part of an unpaid position. After their relationship soured, Babeu said, José took control of the site’s password information and the campaign’s Twitter account, posting private photos and personal information about Babeu. In addition, he clarified, José is not undocumented, and no threats to deport him were made either through Babeu or his lawyer.
