Classless. That’s how I summarize the attack this Republican aide had on the President’s daughters. But the aide is showing a little dignity with her plan to resign.
Elizabeth Lauten, the communications director for Tennessee Rep. Steven Fincher, told NBC News by phone Monday that her resignation is already “in the works.”
In a post that went viral over the weekend, Lauten wrote that Sasha and Malia Obama should have shown “a little class” during the annual Thanksgiving ceremony to pardon two turkeys at the White House.
“Rise to the occasion,” she wrote. “Act like being in the White House matters to you. Dress like you deserve respect, not a spot at a bar.”
Lauten later deleted that post and penned an apology on Facebook, writing that she now sees “more clearly just how hurtful my words were.”
