During the primary elections last “Super” Tuesday, March 3, 2020, Melonnie Hicks, Director of Pioneer City-County Museum in Sweetwater, Texas, posted this on her personal Facebook page:

I hope every single one of you pieces of shit that votes republican, dies today

Erica Garner reports for BigCountryHomepage.com that a few hours after a screenshot of Hicks’ vicious post went viral, getting thousands of shares from across the country, she posted an apology on Facebook. Both the apology and the original post have since been removed, but her Facebook page is still up.

The City of Sweetwater funds a portion of the museum’s building as part of their annual budget. Sweetwater City Manager David Vela told KTAB and KRBC he thought Hicks’ post to be regrettable and reprehensible, especially for someone in a prominent position.

On Thursday, March 5, the museum’s Board of Directors had an emergency meeting at the Sweetwater Police Department to discuss the issue and Hicks’ future with the museum.

The next day, Hicks resigned from her position. (KTAB News)
