I am glad to see Democrats in Missouri are calling for her to resign. She should immediately.

From the Washington Post:

"Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) released a statement condemning*the remark and saying Chappelle-Nadal should resign. Rep. William Lacy Clay (D-Mo.) said that, "(C)alling for the assassination of the President is a federal crime. … (She is) an embarrassment to our state,” according to the Post-Dispatch."
Hate to burst their bubble, but she made no threat or did she incite violence, so unless her district votes her out there is nothing they can actually do about it.

She probably can't be prosecuted for that.

But she can be questioned by the Secret Service to see if she is more than just "wishing" that is motivating her.

She said she "regretted" posting her wish, but she has refused to apologize.

So it appears that the only thing she "regrets" is getting caught -- LOL.

The Missouri State Senate can expel her under its own rules forbidding "disorderly conduct".

It seems that they are going to do so.

Pathetic how you excuse her disgusting behavior and words. I can only imagine if a Republican lawmaker had said this about Obama. Classless democrats have shown their true colors during this election.

Yes, it is, and she did not threaten his life.


Correct.


Waste of time and I doubt they will do any such thing.


Her problem.


Like most people that shoot off their mouth without thinking it through first.

So sorry, Skippy, but I did nothing of the sort. Reading is fundamental, this thread is proof positive of that.

her career with the democrats is just getting started.

As political leaders call for her resignation, she says “there’s no way in hell that I’m resigning.”

Yep. Hell, she's probably one of the favorites now to win the 2020 Democratic nomination for President.

THIS ^^^ is what is so alarming about the state of our country right now.
We have such a double standard and biased imbalance being perpetuated by the media, our education system, our entertainment industry, and the deep state -- they have created a vice grip over the exposure of it by creating the fear of being called racist or whatever and ridiculing any exposure of the fact that the MAJORITY of the bigots, racists, anarchists, criminals, corruption, and hatemomgers are on the left.
It's not hyperbole to say this imbalance of power, of information, and indoctrination is how facism or totalitarianism takes over a country.

Right wingers HAVE done this in other countries, but here we are seeing it with the left.
