Former Congressman Allen West’s website had some ugly commentary.

The editor of a website belonging to a former Florida congressman under consideration for a position in the Trump administration was forced to issue a apology on Sunday after deleting a meme calling for the extermination of Muslims that was posted on his Facebook page.

Saturday, Michele Hickford, editor-in-chief on allenbwest.com issued an apology for the image of President-elect Donald Trump’s potential defense secretary, retired Gen. James “Mad Dog” Mattis.

Included in the picture were the lines: “Fired by Obama to please the Muslims. Hired by Trump to exterminate them.”

Writing on Facebook, Hickford took responsibility for the “reprehensible” Facebook post.

“As editor in chief, I must take full responsibility for this, although I was not the one who posted it, and it was posted without my knowledge. I neither condone nor support the message included in the meme,” she wrote. “This meme was not created by me or any of our writers. It was reposted from another source.The image has been removed. Its message was despicable, offensive to many, and a terrible error in judgement by the person who posted it. Furthermore, it does not reflect Col. West’s beliefs, principles and values.”

    Allen West was forced to resign from the Army to avoid court marshal.
    Google this crazy sociopath for yourself.
    He has proven himself unfit to serve our nation in any capacity including dog-catcher.

    I don’t know why West’s handlers would scrub these comments from the site.
    These types of inflammatory remarks would make him even more desirable by the Trump Administration.

    of COURSE Herr Drumpf is considering him for a post – he’s even more foul than Drumpf.

    Yikes – this is insane.
