An upstate New York prosecutor under fire for calling a cop “an a–hole” after getting pulled over for speeding has yanked her social media accounts amid the looming controversy.
Monroe County District Attorney Sandra Doorley has been lambasted since police bodycam footage nabbed her throwing her privilege around and ignoring a Webster, New York, cop who tried to do his duty and pull her over after spotting her speeding.
Now the embattled prosecutor seems to be making herself scarce online.
“The official [X] page of Monroe County DA Sandra Doorley has been deleted,” WHEC-TV News reporter Jennifer Lewke posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Sunday.
“At last check, the comments on all the posts had been flooded with people from around the world calling on her to resign,” Lewke said in the post.
A check of Doorley’s DA Facebook page also revealed that the content is no longer available.
Doorley’s office did not respond to a request for comment from The Post on Sunday.
The upstate prosecutor started taking heat last week when bodycam footage captured her bratty encounter with the police officer, who allegedly clocked her doing 55 mph in a 35 mph zone.
Doorley refused to stop and drove home, where she called the cop “an a–hole,” taunted him that “I know the law better than you” when the unnamed officer asked for her ID.
She then called Webster Police Chief Dennis Kohlmeier to complain and put him on the phone with the henpecked police officer, the footage shows.
Despite the prosecutor’s tantrum, she was issued the traffic ticket and ultimately paid off the fine — but only after the explosive video went viral and prompted a flood of calls for her resignation.
“Once I realized that the intention of the [police car] was to pull me over, I called the Webster Police Chief to inform him that I was not a threat and that I would speak to the Officer at my house down the street,” she said in a statement.
Despite the little-too-late mea culpa, the on-video tirade didn’t go unnoticed by the Rochester City Council, which unanimously wrote to state Attorney General Letitia James asking that Doorley be investigated.
The attorney general’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Sunday.
