A state senator from University City already publicly chastised for calling for President Donald Trump’s assassination has now stepped in it again with a comparison of the commander-in-chief to one of history’s most evil, Adolf Hitler.
Sen. Maria Chappelle-Nadal, a Democrat, bluntly hoped for Trump’s assassination on her Facebook page back in August. And now?
Now she’s posted yet another message of hate.
Governing has the story:
In Chappelle-Nadal’s post, Trump takes off a shirt to reveal Adolf Hitler.
At least two Republican lawmakers shared their displeasure on Twitter.
State Rep. Phil Christofanelli, R-St. Peters, called the post “shameful.” State Rep. Jean Evans, R-Manchester, said Chappelle-Nadal was continuing her “disgusting attacks on our president.”
Though Chappelle-Nadal quickly deleted the Facebook comment from August, later offering an apology, she offered no apology for the latest post when contacted by the Post-Dispatch.
She criticized the Trump administration’s efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, saying the slow recovery would lead to widespread “illness, death and despair.”
On Thursday, Trump lashed out at Puerto Rico, insisting in tweets that the federal government can’t keep sending help “forever” and suggesting the U.S. territory was to blame for its financial struggles.
Forty-five deaths in Puerto Rico have been blamed on Hurricane Maria, about 85 percent of Puerto Rico residents still lack electricity and the government says it hopes to have electricity restored completely by March.
“Our president has again failed the American people,” Chappelle-Nadal said. In a later tweet on Thursday, Chappelle-Nadal said “Puerto Rico deserves to be part of a nation that will not authorize GENOCIDE on its own people.”
“I have a First Amendment right to share my opinion, and if a meme is offensive to people, they should look at the First Amendment again,” she said. “Then ask yourself why you have different qualifications for a black woman of Puerto Rican descent than other people putting up a meme with no words. It’s Twitter.”
Chappelle-Nadal said the meme had been circulating among some in St. Louis who are protesting white supremacy and inequities in policing.
“This comes from protesters in the movement,” she said. “I fully and wholeheartedly support the peaceful protesters in St. Louis.”
She also said it’s not the first time she has been critical of Trump on Twitter.
Chappelle-Nadal said she is speaking up for dozens of family members in Puerto Rico, including two great-uncles who are veterans. She said she has been unable to get in contact with her uncles since the hurricane .
Though her Senate colleagues admitted in September they did not have the votes to remove Chappelle-Nadal from office, they did vote to censure her, almost unanimously.
Only two of Chappelle-Nadal’s colleagues — state Sens. Jamilah Nasheed, D-St. Louis, and Shalonn “Kiki” Curls, D-Kansas City — did not go along with the plan.

A picture is truly worth a thousand words!
Or at the least one 9mm HP.
Another obvious example that liberalism is a mental illness!
The voters in MO should be ashamed of themselves!

The Chicago political style has metastasized to the general population: armies of lobotomized affirmative-action zombies that can barely stand erect.
Have you checked out the size of her knuckles? From walking on all fours!
Why does she not have a bone through her nose in this picture?
The C&NN propagandist could not find a bone big enough.
weinstein, polanski and crosby could provide big bones.
Something like this?
What is even more scary is that the leftards who listen to her , of course, believe her as how could an elected politician lie. I am really starting to doubt not only the intelligence(sic!) of the left but their knowledge as most seem woefully ignorant about everything. But then what they do know is purely based upon the leftist educational(sic!) system which is a contradiction in many ways.
Ya know, I read about things and people like this and I swear I’m almost tempted to register as a dumborat so I can vote these kinds of people out of office…..then again, I’d have to move a lot to try and vote against them all wouldn’t I ?
This is a definitive example the the leftists’ are not only afflicted with mental-disorders but are imbecilic and basically shallow. Democrats are a pestilence, a contagion based on bigotry and ignorance.
Is this critter comrade maxipad water’s spawn?
We have these sorts in Britain, the only qualification most seem to have for their position is their colour, it takes the exception to prove the rule about that.That’s socialism for you.
How long will this Communist get by with this stuff…. If one of us posted what she has we would be in jail… But our spineless elected officials refuse to remove her from office so and American can take her place….
Who keeps putting in these MORONS?? No wonder nothing gets done up there. Do they get up there only to accuse anyone disagreeing with them as Hitlers???
Other “morons” keep putting in these “morons.”
If this…thing feels this way, along with other blacks like “it” about America and our President, why don’t they ship on outta here en-route to africa and hope they land in mauritania where then can finally be captured by their muslim zombie brothers and sold, by them into slavery. These scumbags don’t know how blessed they are living in America. Dumb clucks (can’t use the other word neighbor that describes them to a “T”
What an embarrassment! She’s definitely full of a lot of hate.
She also full of sheet. (FOS) Maybe she will choke on a watermelon seed or a rib bone.
She is a filthy racist. A leftist useful idiot. I am embarrassed Americans exist that voted for her.
She is “lashing out” as the msm like to say. She is a STUPID foolish person and should not be let near any government or their money!
These dumb asses! Hitler was a socialist, just like the democrat party. In fact, the democrats behave more like communists…”the end justifies the means”!
Chappelle-Nadal’s we are all being “reNigged” by this beech!
I do not agree with her, except for her defense of free speech. Hope she is as consistent in accepting free speech with those she disagrees with as she is for herself. However, though I am unequivocally a believer in free speech, I do believe every person is entitled to defend their good name, including use of the courts. I will not resort to name calling, it is unnecessary and undermines my own credibility. Suffice it to say that listening closely to her tells you all you need to know about her education and intelligence, or the lack thereof.
The problem is that she does not even realize how stupid her post is.
Hitler was a Socialist, stupid.
She obviously knows nothing about history!
Some one that knows this woman personally might try getting her help. Best political laugh of the day for me.
