An elected official in Pennsylvania got bounced out of office for posting her own version of Elon Musk's salute. Towamencin Township supervisor Laura Smith resigned Saturday after posting a TikTok video of herself mimicking the arm gesture that many say resembled a Nazi salute, which Musk made last week during president Donald Trump's inauguration celebration, and community outrage against her spread quickly, reported The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Smith had said in a Facebook post that she posted the TikTok video "to stir the pot. Because I can," but she struck a more contrite tone in her two-paragraph resignation letter.
"To allow the Township to move forward without the encumbrance of the fallout of my video, I tender my resignation from the Towamencin Township Board of Supervisors effective immediately," Smith said.

Exactly. Refuse to do it at work, refuse to do it on TV.
Wonder why? We know why. Elon knows why. The willfully ignorant here on the DR know why.
Bunch of fnkcin' cowards.
