A former local non-profit group's director in Clay County, West Virginia, who had infamously called former First Lady Michelle Obama an "ape in heels" in November 2016, reportedly pleaded guilty to defrauding the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) out of thousands of dollars.

The Department of Justice said that the woman, identified as Pamela Taylor, falsely registered for more than $18,000 in FEMA disaster relief for a 2016 flood which was among the deadliest witnessed by West Virginia.
