GOP Staffer Elizabeth Lauten Slams President Obama's Daughters Sasha And Malia, To Resign

GOP staffer Elizabeth Lauten posted a disturbing Facebook post that went viral this past weekend about President Barack Obama's daughters Sasha and Malia. The staffer is now set to resign.

Lauten told NBC News by phone Monday, Dec. 1, that her resignation is already "in the works."

Lauten, the communications director for U.S. Rep. Stephen Fincher, R-Tenn., has since deleted her controversial post, but screen shots of her words remain.

"Dear Sasha and Malia," the shamed staffer wrote. "I get you're both in those awful teen years, but you're a part of the First Family, try showing a little class. At least respect the part you play. Then again your mother and father don't respect their positions very much, or the nation for that matter, so I'm guessing you're coming up a little short in the 'good role model' department."

The congressional aide worker continued to take jabs at the 16- and 13-year-old first daughters this past Thanksgiving weekend, saying "rise to the occasion. Act like being in the White House matters to you. Dress like you deserve respect, not a spot at a bar. And certainly don't make faces during televised, public events."

The now-unemployed GOP worker spoke of the casual outfits the president's daughters wore to the National Thanksgiving Turkey event Wednesday, Nov. 26. Both sisters wore dresses — Malia with a sweater over hers and Sasha with a white cardigan over her rose-colored dress. To some, the young teens looked less-then-interested in their father's speech.

Later, after deleting the post, Lauten wrote an apology message on her Facebook "more clearly just how hurtful my words were."
