Charles Wasko is the mayor of West York, a suburb in southern Pennsylvania. He’s also the owner of a Facebook page filled with a smorgasbord of racism that has raised demands that he resign.
The calls for resignation come after a Facebook page apparently belonging to Wasko posted in June a picture of a monkey, saying it's a picture of Michelle Obama and a wagon of orangutans captioned "moving day at the White House."
Sure that seems bad—worse than bad. But it’s not the worst of Wasko’s hate-fest.
One of the more overt posts was a picture of Clint Eastwood holding a noose with the text "Barry this rope is for you. Wanna bring that empty chair over here!"
There’s another set of posts on the page that might sound … a little familiar.
He has various posts calling Obama and Hillary the leaders of ISIS, Hillary behind bars, and various others.
Where would anyone get ideas like that? And what would make anyone—much less a mayor—feel like it was okay to publicly display this level of racism and raw hate in 2016. There’s a simple answer.

The West York Council President Shawn Mauck told CNN … that the posts are a result of the "age of Trump that has made anything possible.”
What does Wasko have to say for himself? He’s staying true to his leader’s words.
On Thursday, Wasko wrote on his Facebook page that he will not be "politically correct, I will say what is on my mind and what I believe in …"
Well, Donald Trump did tell his followers he was going to make all their dreams come true. Apparently this is the kind of thing that Trump supporters dream about.
