A supervisor of a town in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, resigned after a video in which she appeared to mimic Elon Musk’s alleged Nazi salute went viral.

Towamencin Township Supervisor Laura Smith resigned Sunday after a video surfaced showing her making a gesture resembling a Nazi salute. The board has scheduled a special meeting to address the situation.

Towamencin Township Supervisor Laura Smith posted a now-deleted video in which she hit her chest three times and then extended her arm out in front of her, similar to Elon Musk's gesture last week.

The board said in a statement that it intends to accept Smith’s resignation at its next meeting, adding that it “cannot and will not tolerate such conduct.”

Towamencin Township supervisor Laura Smith has since deleted the video, but in the full gesture, Smith can be seen hitting her chest, before putting her arm straight out in the air, with her palm down.
