Delaware State Rep. Gerald Brady Won't Seek Reelection After Using Anti-Asian Slur

WILMINGTON, Del. (CBS) -- A state representative in Delaware says he won't seek reelection after he admitted to using an offensive, anti-Asian slur.

In a statement Monday, Gerald Brady, who represents part of Wilmington, wrote, "I cannot in good conscience ask the voters to put their faith in me again after I betrayed theirs."

Brady says he used the slur and tried to make a joke about human trafficking.

He plans to complete sensitivity training.
