The town recorder in Clay, West Virginia, says the mayor has resigned following her response to a racist post on Facebook about first lady Michelle Obama.
Joe Coleman said Tuesday that Mayor Beverly Whaling’s resignation is effective immediately.
Whaling earlier apologized for her response to a post made by Clay County Development Corp. director Pamela Ramsey Taylor after Republican Donald Trump’s election as president. Taylor’s post said, “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.”
Whaling responded: “Just made my day Pam.”
Whaling said earlier she isn’t racist. Taylor hasn’t returned a call seeking comment.

Just made my day.
Ditto.
Somehow we need to impress on certain people that words have meaning. And you can’t occupy two positions at the same time.
