CLAY, W.Va. - The mayor of a tiny town in West Virginia has resigned amid a firestorm over racist comments about Michelle Obama, according to the town recorder. Clay Mayor Beverly Whaling, who had commented approvingly on a Facebook post comparing the first lady to an ape, turned in her letter of resignation Tuesday. Joe Coleman, the town recorder, said Whaling's resignation was effective immediately, according to the AP.

After Donald Trump's election as president, Pamela Ramsey Taylor, director of the Clay County Development Corp., took to Facebook to comment on the upcoming shift from Obama to Melania Trump, writing: "It will be so refreshing to have a classy, beautiful, dignified First Lady back in the White House." She added: "I'm tired of seeing a Ape in heels."
NBC affiliate WSAZ reported that Whaling, the mayor, then replied, "Just made my day Pam."

That should get her fired.
Anyone in a public office who posts idiot stuff on facebook should have to resign.

That was another public official who approve that. The mayor responded that it made her day. The director person was removed from her position.

Good. Terrible judgment and probably a racist.

I would have never guessed that the mayor of such a place would have poor discretion and judgement.

Nice moral victory in the face of crushing defeat. You can crawl back in your hole now.

I commented yesterday when I saw this...
Social media and SJW's have conditioned me into thinking the mayors response to this was "You just made my day, Pam. That's your arse. Ima get you fired!"
But it was actually supportive! I had no idea.
