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.
