In a statement to the Detroit Free Press, Coulter said that Ryan's words were "abhorrent" and said they justified her removal from the county's probate court "pending further investigation." He emphasized, "There is absolutely no place for harassment of any kind or racist or homophobic language by anyone at Oakland County, especially by someone the public must be confident will act fairly and impartially."
According to county officials, Ryan was removed from her docket last week. The tapes, obtained by the Free Press on Thursday, not only capture Ryan's crude remarks about Coulter but also record her calling the average Black American "a f**king lazy piece of sh*t" and labeling herself as "a new racist." This highlights the severity of her actions.
Dave Woodward, chair of the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, confirmed that he also received copies of the recordings. He stated, "I was appalled. There's simply no justification for it." He further emphasized that such language "disgraces the judicial position, undermines the integrity of the judiciary, and destroys public trust in our legal system."
