TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — An appointee to the Ohio Arts Council resigned Friday after making a vulgar comment on social media about Vice President-elect Kamala Harris that also supported President Donald Trump’s false claims that he won the election. Mike DeWine said he accepted Susan Allan Block's resignation a day after his office issued a statement saying her comments were highly offensive. Block, of Toledo, posted the all-caps comments Wednesday after a pro-Trump mob overran the U.S. Capitol. "I have voiced what millions of people are thinking and wish they could say but are 'too afraid' to say," she wrote. Block was first appointed to the state agency in 2016 and reappointed by DeWine in 2019.
