Canton City Councilman Darren Mayle is responding to criticism over posts that recently appeared on his personal Facebook page.
Mayle had reposted messages criticizing both the recently-assassinated conservative activist Charlie Kirk and Kirk's widow, Erika.
On the post about Erika Kirk, Mayle added "bye-bye."
The reposts have been deleted, and Mayle says the reports about his sharing of the messages are inaccurate.
He states he did not celebrate anyone's death.
