Obnoxious GOP Staffer Insults Malia, Sasha Obama

A GOP staffer who works as communication director to a Congressman has written a social media post insulting First Daughters Malia and Sasha Obama, telling the 16- and 13-year-old girls, "try showing a little class." Elizabeth Lauden, an aide to Rep. Steven Fincher, made the comments on Facebook about the girls after they appeared with President Barack Obama during the annual White House turkey pardoning. "Dress like you deserve respect, not a spot at the bar," Lauden wrote. "And certainly don't make faces during public, televised events." After her post generated wide outrage, Lauden deleted it and wrote, "I reacted to an article and quickly judged the two young ladies in a way that I would never have wanted to be judged myself as a teenager."
