DALLAS _ An East Texas judge wrote, and later deleted, a post on Facebook on Monday that referred to the people who marched in nationwide protests Saturday as "a million fat women."
"Just think about this," wrote Judge Bailey Moseley, who serves on Texas' 6th Court of Appeals in Texarkana. "After just one day in office, Trump managed to achieve something that no one else has been able to do: he got a million fat women out walking."
The post was no longer visible on his Facebook page Monday afternoon.
Millions of people _ women and men of all sizes _ took part in the Women's March on Saturday, in part to protest Trump but also to support equality, inclusion and women's rights. Crowds around the world totaled between 3.4 million and 4.9 million, according to researchers at the University of Connecticut and the University of Denver.
In Dallas, 5,000 to 8,000 people marched from City Hall to the Communications Workers of America Hall.
Moseley has served on the 6th Court of Appeals since January 2007, according to the court's website. The court hears cases from 19 counties in eastern Texas. According to his campaign website, Moseley is "known for his strong integrity."
He could not be reached for comment Monday.
