A Minnesota Republican who called Muslims “parasites” resigned as chairman of the Big Stone County Republican party.
Jack Whitley told the Associated Press on Friday that he was asked to resign from his position by GOP board members. Minnesota Republican Party Chairman Keith Downey had previously condemned Whitley’s comments.
Whitley cam under fire last week for Facebook posts about Muslims.
“They are muslims, they are terrorist (sic), we know where they are from, we know where their buddies are, we know where thier mosque’s (sic) are, we know millions of these parasites travel to Mecca every year and when…FRAG ‘EM!” he wrote in a Facebook post.
He refused to apologize and said that Muslims in the U.S. “either need to repent except (sic) Jesus Chist or leave the country.”
Before Whitley resigned from his post in the Republican Party, he was fired from his job at Hardware Hank.
