A California congressional hopeful was forced to apologize for newly resurfaced sleazy Reddit posts — including ones commenting on women’s buttocks and references to “Fresno Freaks.”
Local progressive union activist Lourin Hubbard, who’s running to unseat Democratic Rep. Jim Costa, had a penchant for ogling at not-safe-for-work photos and lobbing low blows at fellow Reddit posters — from the same account he’d used to announce his congressional aspirations, according to screenshots obtained by The Post.
“The posts in question were adult in nature and involved commentary about other consenting adults. While they were made in the past and do not reflect my life today, I understand how some people could view them as objectifying or inappropriate. For that, I sincerely apologize,” Hubbard said in an email to The Post.The candidate for California’s 21st congressional district, covering parts of Tulare and Fresno counties, said he’s matured since making the raunchy posts under the user name LoHubb56.

“Such a big a–! Fresno freaks in the house,” Hubbard replied in 2021 to a now-deleted post about a “Thick Fresno Wife.”
“Great a–! Side note there’s a lot of nurses on Reddit…” he wrote in the NSFW forum Work Gone Wild.
In other posts, which were made between five and eight years ago before the horny account was deactivated, Hubbard drools over women’s “mommy cleavage” and “Phat a– white girls.”
Hubbard was a regular on the popular Roast Me forum, where individuals ask users to poke fun at them.
“You look like you were in Parkland and instead of pulling out his AR-15 that Cruz kid shot you with ugly bullets instead,” he wrote, referencing the 2018 mass shooting that killed 17 students and staff at a high school in Parkland, Fla.
Another old post used the R-word for intellectually disabled people.
