Scarlett Fakhar will no longer be reporting the news via KRIV-TV, a Fox Television Stations representative said on Thursday.
Fakhar's departure follows a controversial post she made on her personal Facebook page, extolling U.S. President-elect Donald Trump and chastising President Barack Obama. The post also said, "I hate to say it.. but the number of African Americans killing one another far outweights the number of them being killed by whites."
Following a scathing critique from Scott Jones on FTVLive.com and other reports, Fakhar apologized for her statements.
"I profusely apologize for making public my personal views on the outcome of the election and other issues. It was wholly inappropriate, as a journalist, to do that. Again, my sincere apologies."
