MISSOURI GOVERNOR & LT. GOVERNOR DEMAND HER REMOVAL FROM SENATE
MISSOURI SENATOR REFUSES TO APOLOGIZE FOR POSTING: "I HOPE TRUMP IS ASSASSINATED"

SICK! Missouri Senator: ‘I Hope Trump Is Assassinated'; Refuses to Resign!
Dems Back State Senator Wishing Trump Assassination
The petition website IStandWithMaria.com appeared almost overnight after Maria Chappelle-Nadal made international headlines for her now-deleted Facebook post in which she said “I hope Trump is assassinated!”
“We, as constituents and community members and people who feel the same frustration with our current political landscape stand with Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal,” the site states. “We know that there is a huge difference between saying that someone hopes Donald Trump is assassinated and someone calling for his assassination.”
As if a state senator hoping for the murder or a duty-elected president is even defensible, but that just comes to show you how delusional the more authoritarian elements of the left have become.
Could you imagine their outrage if a state senator had said the same thing about Obama? Remember how rabid they were when a rodeo clown dressed up as the former president back in 2013.
It’s also pretty much a given that anyone who signs the petition is going on a Secret Service watch list.
Chappelle-Nadal is facing massive backlash for her post, with many of her constituents calling for her resignation.
In response, she said she wished she had “reframed” her statement.
“Out of anger and frustration, I said something that could have been reframed,” Chappelle-Nadal stated. “And I refuse to shy away from the hypocrisy and chaos our country is enduring under Trump.”
But advocating violence as the solution adds to the chaos.
“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,” said Stephen Webber, the party’s chairman.

Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens demands removal of state senator over Trump assassination remark (ABC News)
Missouri Governor Eric Greitens on Friday demanded the removal of a state senator who called for President Trump's assassination in a now-deleted Facebook post. Those remarks prompted an investigation by the U.S. Secret Service.
Sen.
Maria Chapelle-Nadal, a Democrat, wrote on her personal Facebook page
Thursday, "I hope Trump is assassinated!" She later deleted the post.
Chapelle-Nadal has balked at calls for her resignation.
"I
am not resigning," she tweeted Thursday. "When POC [people of color]
are respected by this WH & they are willing to do real work, I'll
sit down with them. People are traumatized!"

So Gov. Greitens and Lt. Gov. Mike Parson, both Republicans, on Friday called for Chapelle-Nadal's colleagues to oust her.
"If she will not resign, the Senate can vote to remove her. I believe they should," Greitens tweeted.
The
Republican governor previously tweeted, "Senator Chappelle-Nadal said
she hopes the President is killed. Republicans and Democrats have called
on her to resign ... Her response: 'Hell no.' Last night, in an
interview, she refused to apologize -— twice."

Chappelle-Nadal
told The Associated Press on Friday that she met on Thursday with the
U.S. Secret Service as part of its investigation into her remarks.
"I let them know that I had no intentions of hurting anyone or trying to get other people to hurt anyone at all," she said.
And
in an interview with the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, she said, "I didn’t
mean what I put up. Absolutely not. It was in response to the concerns
that I am hearing from residents of St. Louis.”

Chappelle-Nadal
made the remark in response to a post that suggested Vice President
Mike Pence would try to have Trump removed from office. Chappelle-Nadal
said she made comment out of frustration with the Trump's response to
last weekend's white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Parson
said he will ask senators to remove Chappelle-Nadal from office if she
does not resign by the time lawmakers convene Sept. 13 to consider veto
overrides. Parson is the presiding officer of the Senate, though he can
only vote to break ties and cannot sponsor legislation or make motions
for votes.
"She is no longer fit to serve our state," Parson said at a Capitol press conference Friday.
