Close

Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens joined calls Friday for state Sen. Maria Chappelle-Nadal to be expelled from the legislature after saying she hopes President Trump is assassinated.

The Republican governor put out a string of tweets noting that lawmakers have called on the Democratic lawmaker to resign and urged the Senate to kick her out if she refuses.

“Senator Chappelle-Nadal said she hopes the President is killed. Republicans and Democrats have called on her to resign,” he wrote. “… Last night, in an interview, she refused to apologize—twice. If she will not resign, the Senate can vote to remove her. I believe they should.”

saw that,and the Governor is Mega-Peeved!
But unless the Idiots calling for Assassinations and other Seditious Acts get prosecuted,the Crap will go on!
Still too many Left-Behinds in the FBI and DOJ!

It appears that the world is working itself up into a frenzy..a frenzy of morons ..if nothing else makes for a different show to watch then the usual crap..got plenty of popcorn and drinks for this show..the only thing missing is the guy hanging out at the corner holding up a sign that says ..THE END IS NEAR..

I do think so too. The media/internet/cable has really 'normalized' plenty of questionable beliefs and conditioned people to feel entitlement to 'INSTANT' everything with little work,, especially information with little research.

Add that to the numbers who are emboldened by seeing that their bad behavior is shared and defended by others,, and the pendulum is swinging pretty quickly towards chaos.

Your right Ms so many just believe what they hear and see on the
screen. Spoon fed by the media.

Trickles down into the state officials too.

Yes, who would have believed a government official would ever find it acceptable to call for violence or assassination?


crazy right?

well,nothing gonna change, when you have a bunch of idiots in the wrong places you'll find a lot of crap to deal with

I agree with everything, but the idiots bit.

Crap happens

the "Good Senator" is a dang Maniac!

Why wasn't she charged with "Making Terroristic Threats" and procecuted?
Double-Standards much?

It should be noted for clarity that this woman is a STATE senator. That doesn't in any way excuse the misbehavior, but simply referring to her as "A Senator" makes it appear that she is playing a part in running the Federal Government. In other words, that her foolishness is more of a problem than it actually is.

It doesn't make it any less criminal.
If a white state senator had said to kill Obama he'd have gotten 20 years in the electric chair.

IS that where Liz Trotta, or Carl Palodino, or Ted Nugent ended up,,?

people publicly making stupid 'jokes' about the death of a President is nothing new or exclusive to any party.

and we can hardly start holding people accountable for merely 'saying stupid things',, when our President was elected on it,,,

perhaps these people say stupid things to just 'shake up the establishment',, as well?

I personally think it is highly unprofessional, but how can we hold other elected officials to a higher standard for what comes from their mouth than we do our POTUS?

Liz Trotta, or Carl Palodino, or Ted Nugent weren't state senators.

oh, do elected officials get 'the electric chair' as opposed to other citizens?

Obviously not.

IMO you don't protest violence with violence. That is pure ignorance

they don't care how many people they have to beat up to support non violence...
