Missouri state Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal, D-University City, blasted white Democrats on the Senate floor Tuesday, saying theres no difference between them and members of the Republican Party.
Chappelle-Nadal said Democratic Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill should add slavery reparations to the national Democratic platform as she says both parties have failed African-Americans, the Kansas City Star first reported. Chappelle-Nadal gained widespread notoriety last year for a Facebook post longing for President Donald Trumps assassination and a later tweet comparing him to Adolf Hitler, but her comments this week honed in on members of her own party.
"Neither one of them give a heck about the black community, only the votes," Chappelle-Nadal said on the Missouri Senate floor, referring to Democrats and the GOP.
She then urged McCaskill, who called on Chappelle-Nadal to resign over her Trump assassination Facebook post, to repair her image among African-American voters by placing slavery reparations in the national Democratic Party platform. "I have a whole lot of people who don't like Claire McCaskill at all who are African American, she said. In Boone County, Missouri, in Callaway County, Missouri what my family contributed to making the state what it is today is incredible, and my family deserves way more than what it is getting today.
The Democratic Party should add reparations for African Americans to their national policy agenda. The measure should be sponsored by Missouri's own @clairecmc, Chappelle-Nadal tweeted Thursday morning.

Yeah dawg! We finna gits paid!
How many years of welfare has there been?
Confederate money used to be worthless. It’s now worth more than today’s currency, by a long shot.
I’ve got an idea: each living former slave can get a payment.
As a descendent of the Cherokee Nation, I too want reparations. Give us money and the state of Tennessee..... ;^)
Same senator that openly hoping for Trump’s assassination. She shouldn’t even be a senator at this point.
I am definitely in favor of white Democrats paying a huge sum for reparations. I think they should make payments out of their own pockets over the next 20 years.
I don’t own any slaves either, in fact if I did own slaves I would never buy black ones, I’d want ones that would work.
Reparations because she's Black, or because she's French?
In either case, plenty of Americans paid off any debt with their blood.
