An Ohio lawmaker who said gay marriage and “drag queen advocates” were among the reasons that led to the Dayton shooting massacre will not resign, despite urging from the state’s Republican Party leader.

State Rep. Candice Keller, of Middletown, cited a litany of factors in a Facebook post on Sunday that she claim led to gunman Connor Betts, 24, killing nine people, including his sister, early Sunday in the city’s entertainment district.

“Why not place the blame where it belongs?” Keller wrote in the since-deleted post.

She then condemned the “breakdown of the traditional American family,” violent video games, recreational marijuana, former President Barack Obama, ill will toward veterans and the Democratic Congress in connection with the shooting, as well as “snowflakes” who cannot accept a duly elected commander-in-chief. She also criticized “athletes who hate our flag” and people who disrespect law enforcement, while adding a personal “thank you” to Obama for the latter.

The comments were quickly denounced by other politicians in the state, including the top Republican in Butler County and a Cincinnati councilman who posted her Columbus office phone number and urged people to “let her know” what they thought of her lengthy post. The chairwoman of the Ohio Republican Party, Jane Timken, then called for Keller’s resignation over the “shocking and utterly unjustifiable” comments on Monday afternoon.

“While our nation was in utter shock over the acts of violence in El Paso and Dayton, Republican State Representative Candice Keller took to social media to state why she thought these acts were happening,” Timken said in a statement to the Cincinnati Enquirer. “Our nation is reeling from these senseless acts of violence and public servants should be working to bring our communities together, not promoting divisiveness.”

But Keller, who is running for a Senate seat in Butler County, said she has no plans to step down, the Enquirer reports.

“Establishment moderates have never been fans of mine because I ran against their endorsement and won,” Keller said in a statement in response to Timken. “As the only conservative in this race, I will be taking my Senate campaign to the voters to decide.”

A message seeking comment early Tuesday from Keller was not immediately returned.

Timken did not speak to Keller directly about the call for her resignation, a spokesman for the Ohio Republican Party told the Enquirer.
