The West York Council in Pennsylvania voted unanimously Monday
night to censure the town’s mayor over a series of racist posts he made
on his Facebook page. Republican Mayor Charles Wasko is facing calls to
resign over the posts, which included images of apes with captions
referring to President Barack Obama and a separate post about lynching.
Town Council President Shawn Mauck had some harsh words for Wasko on Monday
night. “We will send a message to the mayor that his legislative body
rebukes him in every way. He has embarrassed all of us. Not just this
table but everyone in this room. Everyone in West York. Everyone in York
County, everyone in this commonwealth,” Mauck said. The town council
also approved a motion to seek legal means to remove Wasko from office.
Wasko did not attend the council meeting but earlier claimed he was the
victim of a “witch hunt.” |
