A federal prosecutor in Southern California was placed on administrative leave for social media posts in which he slurred Rep. Maxine Waters and suggested someone might shoot her.

San Bernardino County Deputy District Attorney Michael Selyem also insinuated former first lady Michelle Obama had male genitals and said a man shot and killed by police “got exactly what he deserved.”

The offensive posts were first reported by the San Bernardino Sun.

In one post, Selyem, the lead hard-core gangs prosecutor in his district, referred to Waters, a Democrat representing large swaths of South Central Los Angeles for decades, as a “loud-mouthed c–t in the ghetto.”
