Whaling has since issued a statement to the media, saying:

“My comment was not intended to be racist at all. I was referring to my day being made for change in the White House! I am truly sorry for any hard feeling this may have caused! Those who know me know that I’m not of any way racist!”

“Again, I would like to apologize for this getting out of hand!”

The town’s sheriff, Garrett Samples, told the Washington Post he didn’t think the Facebook comment was intended to be prejudiced.

“It wasn’t necessarily a joke, but it was stupid [to post]. I’ve never heard either of them say anything racial before. I know Miss Taylor better,” Samples said.

Joshua Shamblin, a former Clay council member, told the Post, “The county is sorry that this has been placed upon everyone instead of just the few who made hurtful remarks.”

Tina Goode, a town clerk, told the paper, “It wasn’t right, what was posted. We’re not like that. They are good women, and I don’t think they meant anything by it. We’re not a racist town.”
