A real estate firm ended its relationship with West Chester Township's fiscal officer after comments he made on Facebook about the Women's March.

Bruce Jones, a real estate agent once affiliated with Coldwell Banker West Shell, got into an online debate about women's rights. Eventually, he called a woman he was arguing with "ill" and told her to go "back to the asylum."

Coldwell Banker announced its decision in a statement Tuesday.
