An Ohio school board member flashed a Nazi salute and shouted 'sieg heil' at the board president after he refused to respond to her interruption.
Anne Zakkour - a Tipp City Schools board member who has faced controversy and calls for her ouster in the past over 'inappropriate conduct' - was attempting to interject on Simon Patry.
'I'm talking, do not interrupt me, do not make any noises or else I will - I will not tolerate it,' Patry, a local attorney, remarked.
Zakkour then made the infamous salute and said 'sieg heil' in an attempt to compare Patry to a Nazi.
Patry then immediately resigned and recommended his board's vice president, Amber Drum, to replace him without any explanation.
He later said his term was ending in a few months and he wanted to spend more time with family, though he condemned Zakkour in an interview the next day.
'I don't know why anybody would use that, that despicable phrase and gesture,' he said.
'When I walked into the doors was the time I felt that it was highly likely that I would do it today or yesterday,' he said, referencing his choice to step down.
Zakkour defended her actions. 'Mr. Patry has been acting like a dictator on our board for years and last night I had enough of his demands of total obedience,' Zakkour told WKEF.
'My reaction last night was symbolic and a sarcastic gesture of submission to a board officer acting as a dictator. Enough is enough.'
'What happened yesterday was a culmination of four years of being badgered and bullied and being miss represented...' she added.

Zakkour is an Arab surname, specifically of Saudi origin. Her husband?
Where is Dennis the menace when he is needed?
What the hell does that mean?
Except for 5 years in Hollywood attending UCLA, I've lived in Ohio all my life.
This woman was standing up to a leftwing school board president in Tipp City, a typical small town in America.
It’s a one minute video, and I really can’t make out how it escalated to this, but my money is on that woman being of a more leftward persuasion. She interrupts, and interrupts, pops the Belamy salute, then is quiet for the rest of the clip. Sounds like a bitch being a bitch, and much ado about nothing.
Wrong hand.
I laughed when I saw it. Pretty funny.
And last I checked. People can lose their temper and say questionable shit in all 50 states... It’s only ‘cause of social media that anyone cares about it.
I bet she is pleasant. Probably read the Hillary Clinton autobiography more than a few times.
“leftwing school board president”
Ohio, it figures.
You misspelled West Virginia.
Actually, Ohio is a deep red state.
stupid *itch used the wrong arm to boot.
From that picture only, I infer that the woman is comparing the man to Adolph Hitler.
And West Virginia is what ... chopped liver?
How many Ohio counties voted for Biden? Hillary? Obama? Hmmm?
Joe Manchin....the West Virginia version of flipping Linda Graham
You failed to answer my question.
