Pima County Supervisor Ally Miller has come under fire for a controversial comment on Facebook after a violent rally involving white-nationalists in Charlottesville, Virginia this past weekend. 

On Saturday morning, Facebook user Shaun McClusky shared a Politico article with the headline, "POLITICO BREAKING – BREAKING NEWS: Trump denounces 'hate' and 'violence' following Charlottesville clashes."

Miller, operating from her personal account, commented, "I'm sick and tired of being hit for being white....It is all about making us feel like we need to apologize. I am WHITE-and proud of it! No apologies necessary."

Miller serves as the supervisor of District 1 in Pima County.
