State Senator: ‘I Hope Trump Is Assassinated!'

in #news7 years ago

It is as if these liberal loons have totally lost touch with reality! When is it ever ok to publicly wish death upon another person, let alone the president of the United States? NEVER. We were all taught this lesson when we were 2 years old.

A Missouri state senator said in a now-deleted Facebook post that she hopes President Donald Trump is assassinated.

Maria Chappelle-Nadal, a Democrat, acknowledged on Thursday that she wrote a post which read: “I hope Trump is assassinated!”


Chuck Ross of the Daily Caller reports:

Chappelle-Nadal confirmed to a reporter with St. Louis TV station KMOX that she posted the comment.
“I put something up on my personal Facebook page and it has now been deleted,” she said.
Chappelle-Nadal, a Democrat, represents a district in a St. Louis suburb.
It is not clear exactly what prompted Chappelle-Nadal’s comment. But it was likely made in response to a discussion about the ongoing controversy over Trump’s comments about the violence in Charlottesville, Va. over the weekend.
According to KMOX, U.S. Secret Service in St. Louis is looking into Chappelle-Nadal’s post.

Chairman of the Missouri Democratic Party, Stephen Webber slammed Chappelle-Nadal calling her comment “indefensible.”

“All sides need to agree that there is no room for suggestions of political violence in America — and the Missouri Democratic Party will absolutely not tolerate calls for the assassination of the President,” he said.

Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill called Chappelle-Nadal words “outrageous” and called for her resignation.

Chapelle-Nadal has said that she regrets her post but is saying "hell no!" to giving up her position.

Chapelle-Nadal definitely needs to resign. Having politicians like that in a position of power is toxic.
