Pamela Taylor, the West Virginia government employee who was removed from her position for a Facebook post referring to first lady Michelle Obama as an “ape in heels,” is getting her job back.
via The Hill:
Pamela Taylor, director of the Clay County Development Corp., was fired in early November after she 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.”
The Clay County Development Corp. announced on Saturday that Taylor would be reinstated on Dec. 23.
The post also cost the local mayor her job. Former Clay Mayor Beverly Whaling resigned after commenting that Taylor’s post “just made my day.”
The post was a source of public outrage, with nearly 1,500 people demanding the resignations of both via a petition. The two have since made public apologies.
Unacceptable.
