PARKER, Colo. -- An aide to state Sen. Jim Smallwood, R-Parker, was fired Thursday morning after a picture of him surfaced on social media with a caption that included a vulgar joke about sexual harassment training.

The aide, Andrew Knarr, apparently shared a photo of himself at a two-hour sexual harassment training session, accompanied by the words: “And they aren’t event gonna show me the proper way to grab a woman’s (buttocks).”

The caption included another vulgarity, the picture shows.

Smallwood called the picture “unprofessional, unbecoming of somebody who works at the Capitol, or anywhere.”
