A Republican county official in Pennsylvania has resigned after writing Facebook posts calling NFL players who protest during the national anthem "baboons" and "ignorant blacks."

Carla Maloney, who served as secretary of the Beaver County Republican Committee, wrote in a resignation letter Friday that her posts were "distasteful, inappropriate and insensitive."

. . .

"Tired of these over paid ignorant blacks telling me what I should believe in. I will tell you what I believe in and that is our Flag the National Anthem and America period end of story," she wrote in one post. "You don't like it here go to Africa see how you like it there. We are all Americans not African American not Hispanic American. WE ARE ALL AMERICAN."

Maloney wrote in another comment, "Steelers are now just as bad as the rest of the over paid (sic) baboons. You respect your flag, country and our national anthem ... Let's see how the baboons get paid when white people stop paying their salaries."

""I know I am a better person than this and, as I step away from these public positions, I will work to show everyone who I truly am," she wrote. "

2. Why do all these people look alike?

Is every single racist white woman in America a bleached blonde with poorly applied makeup?

3. It's Not The American Flag, You Ignorant Idiots...

...The Protest Is About Police Brutality Unfairly Killed By Police, And
Found Not Guilty By Racist Jurys.

Man, These Stupid Fucks Piss Me Off.

7. They think the majority of the country is as stupid as they are, & will believe their lies. n/t

14. If the GOP wants people to respect the flag

Then ALL government officials from elected ones down to police officers have to respect people no matter their skin color.

Taking a knee during the national anthem is not because people are upset at individual citizens' abhorrent actions - it is done because people PAID by our tax money are using their positions to abuse and discriminate against people of color.

6. Pretty sure she isn't a "better person" than this...

9. Hopefully while she's wearing it.

Did I say that? Oh, that’s a terrible thing to say.

11. And these are the people we're supposed to be civil with? Give me a fucking break!

12. These people need to leave my state

and take their scum friends with them.

Surely William Penn is rolling in his grave.

13. Sorry honey, we've already seen who you are inside, and it's not pretty or nice.

You can run, but you can't hide from yourself and your hate. I bet you find lots of others running from them, now that they know who you really are., regardless of any faked photos.
