GOP Staffer Resigns After Publicly Insulting Sasha And Malia Obama

In a shock to no one, the communications director for Rep. Stephen Fincher that hurled insults at Sasha and Malia Obama has resigned from her position.
In a post that went viral this weekend, Lauten attempted to reprimand the Obama girls for their less-than-interested demeanor during President Obama’s turkey pardoning cermony over the holiday. Telling Sasha and Malia to show “a little class” and to “dress like you deserve respect, not a spot at a bar," Lauten’s Facebook open letter was met with – obviously – a wave of criticism.


Now, NBC News reports that Lauten is resigning from her position:

Lauten remarked during a phone interview that her resignation was “already in the works.” Go figure.
