Trump’s NY Chair Carl Paladino "apologizes" for remarks about the Obamas.
A Donald Trump ally and former Republican gubernatorial candidate apologized Tuesday for remarks he made to a weekly paper in Buffalo about President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama, saying, "I certainly am not a racist."
In his statement provided to CNN affiliate WKBW, Carl Paladino apologized to "the minority community who I spent years trying to help out of the cycle of poverty in our inner cities."
First, the apology should have been to ALL of the people of the US. Second, apology not accepted. It wasn’t even a real apology
Remember the WV Official that made a racist remark about Michelle Obama? FIRED!
CBS reports Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin's office announced Tuesday that Pamela Ramsey Taylor, executive director of the Clay County Development Corp., had been removed from her position after reaching an agreement with the nonprofit group's board of directors. No further explanation was given, but Taylor had been on leave since mid-November when she publicly celebrated Donald Trump's win in the presidential race.
"It will be refreshing to have a classy, beautiful, dignified First Lady in the White House. I'm tired of seeing a Ape in heels," Taylor wrote on Facebook.
The posts were deleted amid backlash and Whaling apologized, but thousands called for their resignations after screenshots went viral online. Taylor was immediately placed on leave and Whaling stepped down as mayor with three years left in her term.

The White house announced sanctions against Russia.
The administration described Russia's involvement as "Significant Malicious Cyber-Enabled Activities" and sanctioned four Russian individuals and five Russian entities for what it said was election interference. The administration also ordered 35 Russian diplomats to leave the country and two Russian compounds are being closed.
According to statements from the White House and the Treasury Department, the government has sanctioned nine entities and individuals over their alleged interference in the election: the GRU and the FSB, which are two Russian intelligence services; four individual officers of the GRU; and three companies that provided material support to the GRU's operations.
The US also separately sanctioned two Russian individuals, Evgeniy Mikhailovich Bogachev and Alexey Belan, for using cyber-enabled means to allegedly cause misappropriation of funds and personal identifying information. They've long been sought by the FBI.
Obama also said in the statement announcing that the diplomats have been ordered to leave the country and that those individuals and their families were given 72 hours to leave the United States
