RACISM: US Mayor Resigns After Calling Michelle Obama ‘ape In Heels’ by felle: 10:17am On Nov 16, 2016
A mayor from West Virginia has resigned amid a furor over a racist Facebook post that described First Lady Michelle Obama as an “ape in heels,” US media said.

Beverly Whaling, the mayor of the tiny town of Clay, had appeared to applaud the incendiary comment and stepped down Tuesday amid the ensuing firestorm.

Local television news channel WSAZ confirmed that Whaling had resigned.

According to WSAZ, Clay County Development Corp. director Pamela Ramsey Taylor had posted after Donald Trump’s election: “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.”
