The mayor of the Missouri small town which shot to infamy last week as the home of accused triple-murderer and white supremacist Glenn Miller said Monday night that he would step down amid a growing uproar over his own history of anti-Semitic comments.
Dan Clevenger, the recently-elected mayor of Marionville, Missouri announced at a special meeting that he would resign as aldermen voted 4-1 to begin impeachment proceedings against him.
In the days after Miller and Marionville sprung into the national consciousness, the Springfield News Leader discovered an op-ed written by Clevenger a decade ago in which he defends the white supremacist views of Miller and calls him a friend.
“I am a friend of Frazier Miller helping to spread his warnings,” Clevenger wrote, according to the News Leader. “The Jew-run medical industry has succeeded in destroying the United State’s workforce.”
In a subsequent interview with the paper, Clevenger said he was no longer friends with Miller and that he was not an anti-Semite, but then proceeded to make further remarks about his belief that Jewish people had hurt the US economy.
