Jason Spencer, a Georgia state lawmaker who dropped his trousers and repeatedly used the "n-word" on an episode of the Showtime series "Who Is America?" on Sunday night, has announced his resignation.

His resignation will take effect on July 31, according to a letter he submitted to Georgia House Speaker David Ralston.

Spencer, a Republican who represents the community of Woodbine in southeast Georgia, appeared in a segment in which the show's star, Sacha Baron Cohen, played a character named Col. Erran Morad.

Spencer was pranked into believing the comedian was an Israeli anti-terrorism expert who was able to convince the legislator that a series of racist acts would protect him against terrorists.

They first discussed Spencer's support of a burqa ban.

Spencer told Cohen's character, "I don't call it a burqa ban, I call it an anti-masking statute."
...
Spencer has not returned calls from CNN, but told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution the Showtime series got him to participate by taking advantage of his fears that he or his family would be attacked -- fears sparked by death threats he says he received after he proposed legislation barring Muslim women from wearing burqas in public.

Don't worry, there aren't any Democrats likely to shoot him.
