A Jefferson County Court employee got fired Tuesday after posting a status speaking out against Black Lives Matter.
Patricia Washburn Kloefkorn,a court coordinator for District Judge Raquel West, was fired after posting anti- Black Lives Matter statements on her Facebook this past weekend, reports PA News. Judge West said Kloefkorn’s statements were “offensive” and “inappropriate.”
“Today the court coordinator of the 252nd District Court was terminated. The integrity of the court is my top propriety. Inappropriate and offensive comments made by court personnel will not be tolerated,” Judge West said in a statement.
In a July 17 post, Kloefkorn, whose page has since been deleted, vented her frustrations over “BLM crap.” People have since copied and shared her status throughout the internet.
“I’ve held back saying anything fearing losing friends. I’m done with that. After reading this if you don’t want to be my friend then don’t be. Another shooting of police officers. Out doing their job. Over BLM crap. Yes, crap. First of all if you have time to protest for BLM, GET A JOB,” the post reads.
Kloefkorn continued in her post, saying being black does not give a person the right to shoot someone else.
“When did being black (interesting that it’s black, not African American ) give you the right to shoot people. For no reason. Because you became judge and jury of issues you probably have no effing clue about? If you want to shoot somebody, join the military (goes back to getting job) and shoot the terrorists that are killing Americans and French and whoever else they are deciding to terrorize,” Kloefkorn wrote.
She ended the post by blaming Obama for causing this “storm” and stated that the violence needed to end.
Jefferson County does not have an official social media policy as of now, but Jefferson County Judge Jeff Branick told PA News that a policy has been in the works for the past few months.
