Secret Service investigating after Mo. senator's Facebook post hoping for Trump's assassinationChanel 4/St. Louis, Aug 18, 2017
ST. LOUIS (KMOV.com) – Thursday morning, a Missouri State Senator posted a comment on Facebook stating she hoped President Donald Trump will be assassinated.
Maria Chappelle-Nadal, D-University City, posted the comment, “No. I Will. I hope Trump is assassinated!” in response to a comment from another person who posted about his cousin being on the President’s secret service detail and his fear that he will probably receive a visit from the secret service. A screenshot of the comment was posted to Twitter by KMOX’s Mark Reardon.
"Someone wrote a statement on my Facebook and I responded with something that shouldn't have been put up there," Chappelle-Nadal said .
Her comment was quickly deleted from her page but the ripple effects were felt for hours after.
Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill said, "I condemn it. It's outrageous. And she should resign."
