ST. CLAIRSVILLE During a tumultuous time when Americans are divided along political lines, city residents are expressing concerns about a post Mayor Kathryn Thalman apparently shared on Facebook.
The post features a picture of conservative commentator Candace Owens and the following quote: “We need to stop calling them liberals and begin referring to them as exactly what they are: American communists that wish to partake in the destruction of western civilization.”
The post on Thalman’s personal Facebook page is dated Dec. 29 and appears without context or further explanation.
Thalman did not respond to multiple requests to confirm or deny that she shared the post. She could not be reached at her home or office for comment Thursday.
