That process should be allowed to play itself out.
We should not have to wait that long in the State of Missouri.
It is time for Sen. Maria Chappelle Nadal, D-St. Louis, to resign.
When she wrote a Facebook post calling for President Trump to be assassinated, she forfeited any right she has to serve in our state legislature.
She removed the post, but not until after it, quite understandably, created a stir and received nearly universal condemnation from Democrats and Republicans alike, with many calling for her to resign.
In the accompanying video, Chappelle-Nadal says her comments were "inappropriate," but pointedly refuses to apologize to President Trump.
"I hate President Trump," she said. "He is causing mass chaos."
She adamantly insists, "I am not going to resign." Why should she have to resign, she said when there are people in the state legislature who smoke marijuana and cheat on their wives.
What world does she live in where calling for the president to be assassinated equates with smoking marijuana and having extramarital sex?
The reporters in the video give Chappelle-Nadal every chance to walk back her statements. Calling them inappropriate is a copout and it is obvious from the way she says it, that she really does not mean it.
We have enough people spreading hatred and violence without this self-serving senator doing so and claiming she is doing it in the name of the people she represents.

Kudos to Mr. Turner! This right leaning Libertarian, who never viewed you as an unbiased journalist, is impressed. Good piece!
She's no different than the entire national news and grandstanding Congress ( just a little more explicit,
Where does she fit in the Re-elect Claire McCasskil organization?

What is her position in the McCaskill campaign?
Chuck Todd just glorified the head of Antifa; so I'm sure he had at lest 25 minutes a dozen times for her-- get her dome fame; heck I think she'd make a great, regular MSNBC contributor! She and Mika could be plumb lovey dovey!

Keep blowing Harvey. You just lost your President Bannon and now things will really get good. der Trumpenfuhrer will continue to derail the country until he is removed from office for being mentally unstable or impeached for treason. You are batting 1000 in your support for the white trash National Enquirer fools that the dumpster fire added to his staff. Rinse Pubes, Scabamucci, Flynn and now the brains that were running things has been fired. Bannon is now going to use Breitbart in all its conspiracy theory glory to upend the Russia House. Does that mean the other lunatic fringe sites like Drudge will follow? Then you will have to follow them since they are the True Republicans. White supremacists, neo Nazis and pond scum. Yup, true republicans.
@ 6:53 I think you're the same partisan buffoon who commented on the Nadal post.
653, No, that would be me. I notice you continue to ignore the fact that the POTUS hinted to second amendment people to take care of Hillary Clinton on a campaign speech that reached millions. They all should get treated the same for such behavior. Talk about bi-partisan buffoons.
@ 1:28 PM do yourself a favor and stop trying to think. You make yourself sound like a republican.
