The Democratic Missouri lawmaker who said on social media she hoped President Trump would be assassinated was publicly censured by the state's Republican-led Senate Wednesday.
"Again, I apologize for the Facebook posting," Sen. Maria Chappelle-Nadal said in a statement released to local media after the reprimand measure passed the Missouri Senate 28-2.

Big deal. A letter in some file. Case closed. Next?
The sooner everybody realizes that there are two sets of laws...
But it's a STRONGLY worded letter.
So...there ya go.
Strongly-worded?
She still needs to be expelled from her state senate seat.
No, she needs to be a(nother) millstone tied to Claire McCaskill’s reelection bid.
Whoop-tee-do. A reprimand means nada to these evildoers.
“Naughty! Verrry, verrry naughty!”

Well, now’s your chance to tell her directly how you exactly feel. I just did. Took me 2 minutes.
All in CAPS??
F these people. F every one of them who wouldn’t stand up for common decency and decorum. Shame on them for always, ALWAYS putting their petty politics first.
This is not a consequence.
