If the Senate doesn't impeach her, it's setting a precedent that it's okay for senators to
publicly encourage assasinating a president.

I suspect wimpy republicans will be too worried of being called racists since she's black, and this will get ignored probably.

But man, you have to be dumber than dumb to do something like this.
That's why I love social media. Get peoples true feelings and ideals out in the open. Easier to deal with a known than an unknown.

MPowering1 you do not need to know anything about her to know she is a racist
Wait what does that mean? You don't have to know anything about her to know she's racist?

I think some of the Republicans have made some pretty inflammatory statements about Trump, too, so I'm not sure they'll want to go on a witch hunt.

Someone said she's not black, but Cuban.

I'm with you. These people with no self-control can let it all out and at least we'll know who we're really dealing with.

That's why when small businesses refuse to sell to gay people - I'm all for not mandating otherwise. Let their small mindedness become public knowledge so people don't bother putting money in their pockets.

It was in response to my initial post saying I didn't know much about her.

Yep, that "post" button is a one way trip. Just like she'll be getting with a small room with no windows and hours upon hours of questions from the Secret Service.

Even if she just typed it meaning to delete it and then posted it by accident...big mistake.

How stupid are people that they do this kind of thing and then say it was only out of frustration? As adults, shouldn't you better manage your frustration and other emotions?

‘I hope Trump is assassinated,’ Missouri lawmaker writes, and quickly regrets
She is forced to resign. Free speech in America is dead. Its time to change the first amendment and call it a day.

The statement - I believe from one of her constituents - is that she's Cuban rather than African-American. Ethnic history, not race. You can be black and Cuban or black and African-American.

You would think people who post on social media would know better. It seems like it's pretty easy to capture something even if it's removed within moments. And witch hunts are in, so thinking nobody is going to spread the word about what you've posted is both foolish and naive.

Someone this devoid of common sense should probably find another job.

No doubt. I think we've all typed what we WANT to say and then had the common sense to wipe it out and type something smarter LOL. She probably hit post by accident.
