Pennsylvania GOP official resigns over racist Facebook posts

By The Associated Press | Posted: Mon 9:01 AM, Sep 03, 2018

BEAVER, Pa. (AP) - A central Pennsylvania Republican official who referred to black NFL players who kneel during the national anthem as "baboons" in a Facebook post has resigned.

Former Beaver County Republican Committee secretary Carla Maloney resigned Friday in a letter to the committee's chairman. Maloney apologized for her "insensitive" posts and said she would "work to show everyone" who she is.

Maloney called the players "baboons" on her personal Facebook account in response to athletes who have knelt during the national anthem to protest social injustice. In another post, she said "overpaid ignorant blacks" should "go to Africa."

The Beaver County Republican Committee said in a statement that it had accepted Maloney's resignation and denounced her comments.

Maloney couldn't immediately be reached.
