Missouri Republican Gov. Eric Greitens called on state lawmakers to expel state Democratic Sen. Maria Chappelle-Nadal for her refusal to apologize for a call to have President Trump assassinated.

"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. If she will not resign, the Senate can vote to remove her. I believe they should," Greitens said in a statement Friday.

Earlier Friday, Lt. Gov. Mike Parson, a Republican, warned that if she does not resign, "I will, in my position as president of the Missouri Senate, immediately seek the expulsion pursuant to Article III Section 18 of the Missouri Constitution."

Chappelle-Nadal admitted Thursday that she posted a now-deleted comment on her private Facebook page expressing a hope that Trump "is assassinated" for his remarks regarding the racial violence in Charlottesville, Va., last weekend. The Secret Service, which must investigate all threats against a U.S. president, is investigating the matter.

She needs to be removed and permanently banned from politics.

She needs to be removed and permanently banned from politics.

Can she be prosecuted?

It is people like her, in high positions, that are more of a threat than the people involved in the protests.

Hmmm, another one of those Yankee Red Leg types huh?

I read she is being paid a visit by the SS.   But like all threats like this.  It is a mere formality of going thu the motions.

"Missouri Republican Gov. Eric Greitens called on state lawmakers to expel state Democratic Sen. Maria Chappelle-Nadal for her refusal to apologize for a call to have President Trump assassinated."

Yes.
Remove her.
Do the Republicans have the votes to do this?
Then, do it!

I wrote that, and then realized that I must apply "Fishrrman's credo" to it:
"Reality is what it is. It is not what we believe it to be."

da reality:
Betcha they don' do nuffin'!

She knows nobody has the guts to force her out.

Ferguson is in her district. Watch it explode again, if she's removed.

Most of these types of politicians first make their mark by enriching themselves. then going off the deep end.  Maxine Waters and Nanccy Pelosi are examples.

This idiot may be enriching herself, but she started going off the deep end too early.

She will pay the price, and taken away.  A substitute with a bit more in smarts will be her replacement.

Correct.  She has the Race Card and knows how to play it.  Even McCaskill's pleas for her to leave or be removed will go unheard.

Bet she doesn't.   This will blow over.  Somebody mentioned, Ferguson is in her district.   All it takes is a few calls of "Republicans are for KKK!"

I dunno. She can't keep her mouth shut. The Missouri senate can remove her?

They can, but they won't.  Race Card.

This is the ugly and sad truth @dfwgator 

[bigheadfred]

Looks like a good number of the top officials in Missouri are against her. Including the democrats.

The Lt. Governor agrees ....

This will bear watching.  Bless the Lt Gov!

The MSN will ignore it and/or call it bluster and racist hate speech.

[Cyber Liberty]

Both the Governor and Lt. Governor are Republicans.  Just a slight shift in heavily black St. Louis (and Kansas City) put them out of a job next election.  They made statements, and that's all they can do.  The Senate isn't going to throw her out either, so unless she decides, on her own, to go, she stays.  Reality has spoken.

Race Card, friends.  This is how it gets played.

You have to ask how the Press is going to play this??

What happens is this blows over and the nappy hair bimbo survives.  You read it here first.
