The mayor of a town in the US state of West Virginia has resigned after she was caught up in a controversy over racist comments about Michelle Obama. Beverly Whaling had appeared to applaud a Facebook post referring to Mrs Obama as an "ape in heels". She wrote that the post had made her day, but later said she was referring to the election outcome. A petition calling for the mayor's resignation had gathered over 170,000 signatures. Ms Whaling was the mayor of the town of Clay, which has a population of just 491. The town has no African American residents, according to the 2010 census. In Clay County as a whole, more than 98% of its 9,000 residents are white. |

She should have stayed on. |

Skipping leg day is the equivalent of a woman having an abortion. You're ashamed of it, and it was probably unnecessary. #MAGA #wallsnotwars | |

As mayor, she should have resigned - which she did. We live in 2016! Racists should not be allowed to even apply for public office, @H4T. |

Clay, West Virginia, has no police department, fire department, school, and the unpaid part-time mayor said "take this this job and shove it"....Needless to say, the 170,000 petition signers came out of the cracks from under liberal rocks, far and wide.....The one black family in town didn't sign the petition...SJWs need to attack bigger targets to have any impact on remnants of racism in America................. :oyvey |

Oh stop it, the mayor fired herself since she knew she had really screwed up. What she said was rather immature, childish and full of racial overtones. |

She was looking for any excuse to fire herself before she made the comment...What is amazing is that there are 170,000 A-holes in the country who took the time to sign the petition on their computer........

Your world is collapsing. Mine is being built. Tell future President Marine Le Pen hello for me. |
