A Republican official under fire in Pennsylvania for making a Nazi-like salute in a TikTok video has resigned from multiple governing positions.

Laura Smith, a Towamencin Township supervisor in Montgomery County, appeared to mimic Elon Musk in the video she publicly shared Thursday, Jan. 23, according to PennLive.com.

“Just checking in on my friends who are struggling this week,” she said in the video before patting her chest three times and extending her arm out toward the camera. “My heart goes out to you. Hope you’re doing OK.”

Musk, an ally of President Donald Trump, told supporters during an Inauguration Day speech his “heart goes out to you,” while making the same gesture Smith later did.

His actions were met with condemnation by people who said the salute resembled a Nazi gesture. The Anti-Defamation League called Musk’s gesture “awkward” and “not a Nazi salute,” but it later said jokes he made about the Holocaust were “inappropriate and highly offensive.”

Smith later commented that she “made a post to stir the pot. Because I can,” according to NorthPennNow.

But backlash ensued toward the Republican official, who also held positions for a local library and a nonprofit.

The Montgomery County-Norristown Public Library said it accepted Smith’s resignation Jan. 25.

“The views expressed in the TikTok video are in direct conflict with the mission and principles upheld by the Montgomery County Public Library, its Board of Trustees, staff, and the community it serves,” the library’s board of trustees said in the post.

Knights for Life, a pro-life nonprofit, also said Jan. 25 Smith had resigned, saying her comments distracted the organization from its mission of “service, of community, of helping those in critical need.”

Smith’s TikTok page has been deleted, and she later said her video was “greatly characterized.”

“Not wishing to give offense, I removed the video from my accounts,” she said in a statement. “I abhor racism, anti-Semitism, or discrimination in any fashion or form, and my record as a township supervisor attests to my commitment to treat all people with dignity and respect.”

Others called for Smith’s removal as the township’s supervisor, including Jason Salus, the chairman of the Montgomery County Democratic Committee. He said he was “deeply disturbed” by Smith’s action, saying it “has no place in our community.”

“Our community deserves leaders who represent us with integrity and respect for all,” Salus said in a Facebook post.

Upper Merion Township Supervisor Greg Waks and state Sen. Maria Collett were also among those who condemned Smith’s actions. Kofi Osei, who served on the board with Smith, also took offense to Smith’s video, calling it “blatant anti-Semitism.”

On the township’s Facebook page, multiple posts became full of comments about Smith, culminating in her Jan. 26 resignation.

“To allow the Township to move forward without the encumbrance of the fallout of my video, I tender my resignation from the Towamencin Township Board of Supervisors effective immediately,” she said in a statement shared by the township on Facebook.

The board said it “cannot and will not tolerate such conduct.”

The Philadelphia Inquirer said Smith was elected as a Towamencin Township supervisor in 2013. Her sixth term would have ended this year.

Towamencin Township is about a 30-mile drive northwest from Philadelphia.
