ST. LOUIS (KMOX) updated at 1:15 p.m. – A Missouri state senator wrote on social media Thursday morning that she hopes the president is assassinated. Responding to someone’s post on Facebook who said they’d probably get a visit from the secret service, Maria Chappelle-Nadal wrote, “No I will. I hope Trump is assassinated.”
The U.S Secret Service in St. Louis told KMOX News it is taking the comment very seriously. Special agent in charge of the Secret Service in St. Louis, Kristina Schmidt, says there is no forum on social media, in letters or in person, that make it O.K. to make threats against the President. Schmidt says in cases like this they will investigate the intent and the possibility that a remark may inspire others to take action.
Schmidt says in cases like this they will investigate the intent and the possibility that a remark may inspire others to take action. She says the next step in a case like what Chappelle-Nadal wrote on Facebook, is to investigate whether or not there is intent to act on the words. We asked her if posting on Facebook to say, “I hope the President is assassinated” is against the law? She replied: ADVERTISING
“So that’s the Secret Service’s job to find out if there was a federal violation committed. The Secret Service has to investigate all of these, whether it’s that someone else should do it, that I will do it, the Secret Service will have to investigate to find out if there is intent there. If there is intent there then we will present the case to the United States attorney’s office and it will be the United States attorney’s office to deem whether or not it’s a violation of law and whether or not they will file chargers.” She says there is no specific law concerning threats to the President made on social media. “The law is no matte where you say it, or what venue you say it in…it is against the law,” Schmidt says. Nadal told KMOX’s Mark Reardon on Twitter, “I put something on my personal Facebook page and it has now been deleted.” But it wasn’t deleted before Reardon was able to get his hands on a screenshot of the post.
She also told Reardon, “I’m frustrated with this Presdient for causing so much hate.”
Maybe the Secret Service will be her eraser.
I did everyday to myself. lol
“I Hope Trump Is Assassinated”
Note to file: This is what domestic terrorism looks and sounds like.
Doesn’t matter. Same charge still applies. Being an elected official doesn’t give you the right to call for the assassination of a US president. This crazy bitch belongs in jail.
“We asked her if posting on Facebook to say, “I hope the President is assassinated” is against the law? She replied: ADVERTISING”
Advertising to the activist with a cousin in the Secret Service no less. Considering her position in the government, she should be in jail.
I’ll bet there’s already been a knock on her door...
That hyphenated nadal thingy is it a muzzie name.
As much as I despised Obama, I never wished him death..impeached, yes, but not death
Wow, that beeyotch looks like a younger, perhaps only slightly-saner version of Maximum Maxine!
Jus doin’ auntie maxine proud.
Well now on twitter “I hope Trump is assassinated” is trending..again, I wonder when Obama was President if such a disgusting hashtag would have ever been allowed
“Censured?”
She seems like a nice lady.
I hope the US Secret Service enjoys their meeting with the nice lady.
< /sarc>
Jesus! Please let the Karma Train hit her big fat ass...and soon!
Absolutely! Deep-six this traitorous bastard!
If the Secret Service doesn’t get a handle on this insurgency quickly and harshley, and PUBLICLY, they’ll get overwhelmed with Democrat insurgents.
Time to put the fear of immediate imprisonment. You just need 1/2 dozen examples. Other idiots may follow; same for them.
“Starting to get tired of these lunatics.”
Yep, they do get wearisome.
This lady should take heed of Wasserman-Schultz’s advice that “there will be consequences”. Thus warned, run her up for sedition after another such peep. We’re more than overdue for such a case.
I hate to use the old cliché “making an example of someone” - but maybe this is the time and place.
A lot of people out there need a total wake-up call that you can’t wish harm on the President - regardless of whether the President is a Democrat or Republican.
Now could be as good of a time as any.
