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.”
Another crazy, dangerous black who should be impeached and removed for her treasonous and dangerous actions.
Imagine someone calling for the Assassination of Barack Obama, the reaction of the media would be 24/7 condemnation
Starting to get tired of these lunatics.
HE should be censored!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m beyond tired. These psychotic people need to be in prison NOW.
If it takes 100 then do it. Let them feel the heat and let others take notice and be forewarned.
She should be censored!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Looks like State Senates have lost what little dignity and decorum that they had remaining. I can hardly believe that she is what passes for a Senator in the great State of Missouri. The “Show Me” State should be utterly ashamed.
IT should be censored!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lock her up.
She also told Reardon, “I’m frustrated with this Presdient for causing so much hate.”
Blame the Media. Open your eyes.
Funny they don’t print her picture. They think they can hide her race?? Prosecute treason.
IT should be arrested by the Secret Service TODAY.
In handcuffs and leg irons; perp-walked in public.
A member of congress calling for the assassination of a sitting president?
Are you effing kidding me?!!!
Arrest her ass NOW!!!
This is sedition.
These democrat idiots are actually trying to start a civil war.
Member of Missouri state legislature, not Congress.
I’m surprised the CBS St Louis affiliate even ran this story..
Fat and fugly too. She’s got a lot going for her.
