A West Virginia woman who was fired from her job in 2016 after writing a demeaning Facebook post about Michelle Obama pleaded guilty Tuesday to defrauding the Federal Emergency Management Agency out of thousands of dollars in disaster benefits.
Pamela Taylor, 57, admitted to falsely registering for more than $18,000 in FEMA disaster benefits after flooding in Clay County, West Virginia, in June 2016, the U.S. attorney's office said Wednesday in a statement. The floods killed 23 people.
Taylor claimed that her primary residence had been damaged in the flood and that she was staying in a rental property, the prosecutor's office said. Her home was not damaged, however, and she still lived there ...
In her plea deal, Taylor agreed to pay restitution of $18,149.04. She faces up to 30 years in prison and a fine of up to $500,000 when she is sentenced on May 30.

... Pamela Taylor, the former director of the Clay County Development Corp., pleaded guilty earlier this week to taking more than $18,000 in relief benefits from the agency intended to help those whose homes were damaged in the 2016 floods that ravaged regions of the state ...
The West Virginia woman first captured national attention after she was removed from her position in November 2016 when she said in a Facebook post that "It will be so refreshing to have a classy, beautiful, dignified First Lady back in the White House. I'm tired of seeing a Ape in heels" ...

CLAY COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- The Appalachian Area Agency on Aging has taken over the Clay County Development Corporation ...
The development corporation recently made national and international headlines after the former executive director, Pamela Taylor, made a racist Facebook post that went viral.
The board of directors of the Clay County Development Corporation met last week and sent letters to Pamela Taylor and her two sisters, removing them from their positions with the non-profit. Taylor's two sisters were both employees ...
The CCDC was not complying with any Freedom of Information Act requests and was not holding open meetings ...

(14,573 posts)Any time you hate another group of people, or even another person, you are diminishing yourself.
I'm more disgusted and revolted by Trump and the Republicans than hating them. I hate what they have done. I hate what they stand for. I believe Trump, McConnell and many others ought to be put in prison for their crimes.
But to actually hate someone really is a diminishment of yourself; it dims those parts of the self that can rise and do noble, good things that benefit humanity.
Well...that was a brain fart, wasn't it? Didn't mean to be preachy.

(4,150 posts)I don't want to be the type of person who criticizes somebody on their looks, as Ms. Taylor evidently did in an ugly, racist attack. In fact, it wasn't even an attach on Mrs. Obama's "looks" per se. It was an attack on her as a person.
Given Ms. Taylor's rather porcine features, one might wonder why she would have the gall to do so. . . On another note, Mrs. Obama is an educated, brilliant woman with many options while Ms. Taylor? Hmmm. . . Not so much. Besides, we all know how jailbirds are.
