The MO State Senator who posted "I hope Trump is assassinated" on Facebook should resign

[12icer]

the gov tweeted that either she resign or she will be removed

she should be under investigation as well

I doubt she personally intends to assassinate Trump but she knows that some of her followers are a bunch of angry antifa and BLM thugs who are already thinking about it. Some of the antifa signs suggest killing cops, too. While they likely can't get at Trump, any Trump supporter is a potential target as it is. And it won't take much encouragement to push them toward more violence.

She should be charged because she is encouraging murder.

She should be charged because she is guilty of a crime.

See my above post.

She should probably resign, jail time though? Give me a break.

Federal law demands she does PRISON time not exceeding 20 years for advocating the desirability of Trump's assassination.

Advocating the desirability? Can you name the statute?

Why dumbass, you think the same thing cant be said about your shit in a suit? BTW he is not in office anymore is he so I guess it wouldn't be a crime to ask for him to be dropped, or would it? Any person who infers that a sitting public official be killed in ANY way commits a felony, not just under the federal statute but by all state laws. YOUR shit are not above the law even though you want them to be.

Don't cry about it, sissy. We're just going to have to disagree.

 

[easyt65]

It isn't over. She will, at the minimum, be Censured.

 

[Borillar]

No overt threat. She just wished it would happen. Kind of like that right wing senator who prayed for Obama to die.

IT does not take an overt threat, it is very broad, maybe you should learn what the term advocates means.

Here

So, is the repug senator who prayed for Obama's death in prison right now? Did anything ever happen to him? No and no. Exactly what should happen with this idiot.

 

[Moonglow]

It's not treason and not quite terroristic threatening, no no real crime was committed...

Agreed. If her constituents have an issue with what she said then they can vote her out in the next election.

Sorry NO chance this gets by, either by the lawful removal or as needed I am sure all it will take is a word from our Prez.

The president can't dismiss a state senator, it falls out of the jurisdiction he doesn't have...

yes exactly

The Right should view her as they viewed Ted Nugent and his repeated threats.

18 U.S. Code § 2385 - Advocating overthrow of Government

Whoever knowingly or willfully advocates, abets, advises, or teaches the duty, necessity, desirability, or propriety of overthrowing or destroying the government of the United States or the government of any State, Territory, District or Possession thereof, or the government of any political subdivision therein, by force or violence, or by the assassination of any officer of any such government

Shall be .... imprisoned ... twenty years.... ineligible for employment by the United States ... five years next following ... conviction.

It's even MORE important that she is imprisoned since she is a US Senator. A Senator is not your ordinary citizen. A Senator's opinion carries weight in society and is more likely than not to actually trigger a loon to follow through on her fantasy.

You can vote me WINNER btw. K thx bai

She's not a US senator.

You beat me to it.

He actually threatened President Obama and the RWNJs were on Poopy Pants' side.

After you maul them in argument they just disappear and send trolls like Luddley Neddite to smear the thread instead.

 

[Rustic]

Getting along is way overrated…

 

[Cellblock2429]

She should get a visit from the Secret Service and she should resign.

If a Pub state senator said the same thing about Obama, think about the outrage from the left.

When their person does it...not so much.

Again, it's not about hate speech at all for the left. It's about political opportunism.

Of course they did. And btw if the FBI treats this woman the way they treated Nugent I have no problem with that.

I agree...a visit from the SS and she should resign.

I vote 0. expressing hatred should not be punishable by prison.

It's OK to say they want death for Obama, but not Agent Orange.

republicans call for Obama's death - Google Search

Republicans even "joked" about it later.

I don't remember any Republican resigning. So it must have been OK.
