PENNSYLVANIA – Laura Smith, a Republican supervisor from Towamencin Township, Pennsylvania, resigned from her position after a video surfaced showing her mimicking Elon Musk’s controversial hand gesture, which some had claimed resembled a Nazi salute. The video, posted by Smith on TikTok, sparked backlash and was widely shared on social media.

Although Smith later removed the video and issued a statement saying the gesture was mischaracterized, she emphasized her commitment to respect and dignity for all. On January 26, Smith resigned, stating it was necessary for the township to move forward without the distraction caused by the video. She was also a member of the Montgomery County-Norristown Public Library board, from which she resigned the previous day.
She shouldn’t have resigned. If you don’t have huge testosterone-producing organs, you shouldn’t go into politics to begin with.
I don’t think she needed to resign. USA is getting to crazy anyway.
What about all those deodorant commercials with people baring their armpits in salutes?
She goes and Musk stays?
I suppose she is both autistic and left-handed.
