A former West Virginia official who gained notoriety after making a racist remark about former first lady Michelle Obama was sentenced to prison this week after pleading guilty to embezzling federal disaster funds.

Pamela Taylor, who served as the Clay County development director, was sentenced to 10 months in federal prison and two months of house arrest, the local U.S. attorney's office announced Thursday. She was also fined $10,000.

Taylor pleaded guilty in February to taking more than $18,000 in relief benefits meant to help people whose homes were damaged in flooding in 2016. She registered for the benefits, saying that her home was damaged. Prosecutors later said it was discovered that her home was not damaged.

In her plea agreement, Taylor also agreed to pay $18,149.04 in restitution. Prosecutors said Thursday that she has paid the money.

1. Thoughts and prayers.

I hope none of her fellow inmates are people of color.

15. I hope they are, maybe she will learn that color makes no difference

Her problem is bigger than she thinks because if any of these people who love Obama, and Michelle, know or learn of her racial remarks, she will have a tough time there.

11. Pamela should realize she was simply born with elegance to spare, and not look down on others.

14. I love how they all hold hands!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a family portrait showing something like that. The Obamas do it so naturally and it looks quite genuine. It makes them look so solid in their love for each other. And both the girls are teens which makes the shot even more noticeable.
