West Virginia officials under fire for racist Facebook post which described Michelle Obama as an 'Ape in heels' compared to 'classy, beautiful' Melania Trump
A West Virginia mayor and local executive are facing mounting pressure to resign over a racist post about Michelle Obama.
'It will be refreshing to have a classy, beautiful, dignified First Lady in the White House. I'm tired of seeing a Ape in heels,' wrote Clay County Development Corporation director Pamela Ramsey Taylor shortly after Donald Trump was elected as president.
Clay Mayor Beverly Whaling responded: 'Just made my day Pam.'

And she's still employed.

Right. How much longer. "sincerely held religious beliefs..." may become the Trump card.
