An official from West Virginia has reportedly lost her job after posting a racist comment about Michelle Obama on Facebook.
After Donald Trump won the US presidential election, Pamela Ramsey Taylor, from the Clay Development Corporation, posted: "It will be refreshing to have a classy, beautiful, dignified First Lady in the White House. I'm tired of seeing an Ape in heels."
Clay's mayor, Beverly Whaling, responded: "Just made my day Pam."
The post, which was initially reported by WSAZ-TV, was shared hundreds of times before it was deleted.

Stupid comment, esp for a government worker... how could you not know any better than that?? posting on social media, really?
Agreed. Stupid comment, and stupid to post on Social Media.
Indeed
Agreed. Ridiculous comment. Especially considering Chewbacca is not an Ape.
I’m not a Michelle Obama fan, but that was brutal.
Absolutely uncalled for.
Yep, regardless of how you feel about the First Lady, that kind of comment has no place in civilized society. It certainly is not the kind of thing a true conservative patriotic American would say.
If you Google “Michelle Obama” the first listing is from the BBC about her being an “Ape in Heels”.

I started to post his earlier but decided not to do it. Now it is out in the open.
“Stupid comment, esp for a government worker... how could you not know any better than that?? posting on social media, really?”
I agree. In Florida there rules about what you must do to fire somebody. It includes counseling, an improvement plan and three warnings. Apparently that doesn’t hold if you post something that is politically incorrect.
Better yet, don't post anything on Facebook.
Don’t want to start an argument, but since when did honesty become “stupid”?
I believe the statement that Michelle Obama is an ape in heels is accurate. However, as to whether or not Michelle is a male or female is still open to debate.
Furthermore, stating a fact or an opinion is not a crime, and as far as I am concerned the statement was spot on.
Not the first time. At least this woman didn’t get the treatment Joan Rivers got for telling the truth about “Michelle”.
That is just SO WRONG! Michelle wears flats, all the time.
Stupid, but accurate
I was at lunch with my manager and a bunch of work mates last friday. It was all women except for me. One of them says something about the new wife of one of the guys on the team posting something on Facebook and they all were talking about being facebook friends, etc. BTW, I’m a contractor on this team.
I said, “I don’t have any work frinds on facebook.” They asked why. I said, “I want to keep my job.”
Nervous laughter...
I post nothing political under my real name, but wonder if a pseudonym here for example, is enough of a barrier.
After all, fairly low level sleuthing can link to the real me, but at least I made the attempt.
However, a determined foe could still cause trouble.
Paging Joan Rivers..
You can go to youtube and get some pretty compelling evidence that Michelle is a guy. Seriously.
Corollary: If you must post, DON’T USE YOUR REAL NAME.
