Columbia (WLTX) -- A state activist for the Republican party32; made a comment on Facebook Friday that has landed him in some hot water.

According to FITSNews, former State Senate candidate Rusty DePass made a comment on Friday on the Internet site, Facebook, describing the escaped gorilla at Riverbanks Zoo as an "ancestor" to First Lady Michelle Obama.

The comment was made after Trey Walker, an advisor to SC Attorney General Henry McMaster, posted a Facebook update about the escaped animal at the zoo. DePass posted a comment stating, "I'm sure it's just one of Michelle's ancestors - probably harmless."

FITSNews captured an image of this posting, which has since been removed from the site.

DePass, a supporter of former President George W. Bush, has been active in Republican politics in South Carolina for decades. Former state Republican chairman Katon Dawson says the comment was sad and disappointing.

News19 tried contacting DePass on Saturday for a comment, but he was not able to be reached.
