But after Fox News asked questions about the request for donations, the fundraising link disappeared from the site.

State Sen. Maria Chappelle-Nadal told Fox News in a statement on Wednesday she appreciates the “gesture and show of support” from the supporter who set up the site.

The “I stand with Maria” website included a link to Chappelle-Nadal’s fundraising page at ActBlue, an online platform used by Democrats to raise money online.

The website includes a petition of supporters who don’t think she should resign. The site attempts to rationalize her comments.

If a private citizen says she hopes someone is assassinated, that may be freedom of speech. An elected official, however, is held to a higher standard. Did she take an oath to uphold the Constitution? Then she is toast.

I hope the Democrat party has enough decency left to dump her, but I wouldn’t bet too heavily on it.

Charlottesville was a a pre-planned propaganda offensive. RAT media had the scripts all ready to launch from day one. The parties were pushed together by police deliberately. If this does not call for RICO prosecutions I don’t know what else would.

The democrat party of missouri has decided that McCaskill’s reelection chances, slim as they are, are more important than the career of an African American state senator.

Just Claire enjoying her “white privilege”. ;)

So they’re funding her because she wanted to assassinate Trump? Indict them as co-conspirators.
