Missouri Gov. Greitens demands ouster of Sen. Maria Chapelle-Nadal over assassination remark |
2017-08-20 |
[ABC] 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!" |

#4 Now, I'm sure her district receives a lot of federal and state funds. And I'm equally sure that the legal criteria for these funds transfer was not rigorously applied. |

#3 I suspect her constituency agrees with her. So do I. Her constituency should resign & be replaced with a better one. |

#2 Recall petitions might be allowed but I suspect her constituency agrees with her. |

#1 Surely the state Executive branch can do something else, like withhold her paycheck? |
