Judge resigns after admitting to using n-word and saying all lives matter while at work

(CNN) Colorado District Judge Natalie Chase has resigned after she admitted using a racial slur in front of court employees, voiced her opinion on racial issues from the bench and asked employees to do personal tasks for her during work hours.

The Colorado Supreme Court issued an order Friday in which it publicly censured Chase and accepted her resignation. According to the order , it stemmed from accounts from multiple court employees, cited in the order, given as part of an investigation by the Colorado Commission on Judicial Discipline.

Chase admitted to using the n-word a number of times in early 2020, according to the order, while driving to Pueblo, Colorado, with two court employees -- one of whom is Black.

"(She) asked the (court employee) questions about why Black people can use the N-word but not white people, and whether it was different if the N-word is said with an 'er' or an 'a' at the end of the word," the order said. "During the conversation, Judge Chase used the full N-word a number of times."

That wasn't the only time Chase made offensive comments in front of court employees.
