The mayor of a small town in Virginia is being urged to resign following a Facebook post in which he claimed Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden "just announced Aunt Jemima" as his running mate. Luray Mayor Barry Presgraves made the comment last weekend and has since faced a bitter backlash from the Luray Town Council as well as other residents who characterized his post as racist. Presgraves has since taken down his post and on Monday apologized at a town council meeting. Luray Council Member Leah Pence believes his apology isn't enough and has sent Presgraves a letter asking him to step down. When pressed on whether he would resign, Presgraves responded with a hearty "hell no."
