Her name is Melissa Thompson. She does, in fact, sit next to embattled Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis. And she's not amused.

Amid the controversy over Davis' refusal to issue marriage licenses for same-sex couples, a parody Twitter account @nexttokimdavis has emerged with Thompson's photo and a slew of offensive, profanity-laced tweets that are definitely #NSFW.

Thompson, a deputy clerk in Rowan County, said she's seen the Twitter feed and doesn't think it's funny — "not with that language." She declined to comment further.

The account, which had roughly 8,500 followers Wednesday night, has shot up to more than 64,000 in just two days.
