Republican township supervisor resigns after mimicking Musk's Nazi salute

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/NaoSOfqfOSM



A TikTok video made by a Towamencin Township Supervisor mimicking a supposed Nazi salute motion, a la Elon Musk at the recent inauguration, is making its rounds on Facebook, Reddit and, even the Musk-owned X, where it has been viewed by thousands. It's created a local backlash from township taxpayers and North Penn community members alike, calling for her immediate resignation.

Republican Supervisor Laura Smith, on the TikTok account @laurasmith6036, wearing a Hollins University Women’s College sweatshirt, posted a video on Thursday of herself in a bright bedroom, in which she states, “Just checking in on my friends, who are struggling this week,” before hitting her right chest three times and putting her arm straight out in front of the camera.

“My heart goes out to you. Hope you’re doing OK,” she said, ending the video.

Wonder if she is a Hollins graduate shaming the school or a Hollins mom shaming her kid AND the school?

Wonder if she knows her daughter is going to such a 'woke' school.



Transgender Policy

Since its founding in 1842, Hollins’ mission has been to provide an exceptional undergraduate liberal arts education for women. In furtherance of our mission, tradition, and values as a women’s college, and in recognition of our changing world and evolving understanding of gender identity, Hollins will consider for admission those applicants who consistently live and identify as women, regardless of the gender assigned to them at birth. Enrolled students who transition during their time at Hollins may graduate.

Hollins will continue to use gendered language that reflects our identity as a women’s college in institutional communications and policies.
