Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas confirmed the employee was fired during an interview with KCMO Talk Radio on Thursday, according to KBTX. The city also released a statement, "The employee has been separated from the City workforce for violation of City policy by posting outside the scope of authorized City communications. The City will have no further comment on the post or individual employees related to it.”

'I don’t think he was speaking ill to women.'

The initial post was up for nearly 30 minutes before it was deleted. The city's account then posted an "apologies" for the "error."
