Missouri Dem Calls for Trump’s Assassination — Is This a Sign of Things to Come?

A Missouri Democrat was removed from eight committees following a Facebook status calling for the assassination of the president.

Senate leaders stripped Democratic State Sen. Maria Chappell-Nadal of her committee assignments after she posted to Facebook last week: “I hope Trump is assassinated!” Chapelle-Nadal later deleted the Aug. 10 Facebook post following mounting backlash and issued a forced public apology at a press conference.

“President Trump, I apologize to you and your family,” Chappelle-Nadal said during a live Facebook stream. “I also apologize to all the people in Missouri. And I also apologize to my colleagues in the Missouri legislature for the mistake that I made.”

“I made a mistake. And I’m owning up to it.”

Although she expressed remorse for her comments, she remained defiant when calls for her resignation and an apology surged from colleagues on both sides of the aisle, including Missouri Republican Gov. Eric Greitens and Republican lieutenant governor, Mike Parson. A special voting session was called by lawmakers to vote to oust Chappell-Nadal from office if she refuses to resign.

On Think Tank Wednesday, the panel discussed Chappell-Nada’s comments and the vitriol from the left.

WATCH: This is the Maybach Ultimate Luxury SUV (2020)

Mercedes-Benz is presenting the Vision Mercedes-Maybach Ultimate Luxury. The design of the crossover, based on an exclusive high-end saloon and an SUV, follows the philosophy of Sensual Purity.

The show car combines the comfort and typical strengths of both body styles. These include the raised seating position and the athletic looks. The Vision Mercedes-Maybach Ultimate Luxury is conceived as an electric car. Thanks to its four compact permanent-magnet synchronous motors, it offers fully variable all-wheel drive. The output from the powertrain is 550 kW (750 horsepower). The flat underfloor battery has a usable capacity of around 80 kWh, producing an NEDC range of over 500 kilometres (according to EPA: over 200 miles). The top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h (155mph).

The fast-charging function is also convenient: thanks to DC charging based on the CCS standard, the system allows a charging capacity of up to 350 kW. In just five minutes, enough power can be charged to achieve an additional range of around 100 kilometres (62 miles).

Dave Rubin: YouTube is pushing me to the 'libertarian side'

Dave Rubin's YouTube channel has reached 1 million subscribers, a monumental feat given the platform's proclivity for banning anyone right of Bernie Sanders. Dave is no stranger to social media bias, but his inner-libertarian still says government regulation is the wrong way to go.
