The leader of an Arizona branch of the civil rights organization has resigned after telling a television reporter she had “nice tits.”
The president of the Maricopa County, Arizona, chapter of the National Association of the Advancement of Colored People has resigned after facing backlash for telling a female TV reporter she had "nice tits."
Donald Harris, 77, resigned on Monday, according to the executive board of the NAACP branch.
The move came after Harris told a female reporter last week she had "nice tits" following an NAACP meeting to discuss a photo that had gone viral featuring Phoenix high school students in shirts that spelled out the N-word.
KPNX-TV reporter Monique Griego and several other journalists were asking Harris questions about what the meeting had accomplished, when he made the remark.
Harris later apologized in an interview with the Phoenix News Times.
"I apologize if anyone was offended. I could have said nothing," he said. "I'm really fucking sorry."
