LONDON - An adviser to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson who had discussed the benefits of forced contraception quit on Monday, saying “media hysteria” about his old online posts meant he had become a distraction for the government.

In addition to posts on contraception, Sabisky also said data showed the U.S. black population had lower IQ than white people, and, in a 2016 interview with digital publication Schools Week, discussed the benefits of genetic selection. “The media hysteria about my old stuff online is mad but I wanted to help not be a distraction,” Sabisky said on Twitter.

Both the opposition Labour Party and at least two of Johnson’s own Conservatives had called for him to be fired.
