Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens says the state senate should remove Democratic Sen. Maria Chappelle-Nadal from office
if she refuses to resign.
Both Democratic and Republican leaders have called on Chappele-Nadal to resign.
“All sides need to agree that there is no room for suggestions of political violence in America —
and the Missouri Democratic Party will absolutely not tolerate calls for the assassination of the President,”
said Stephen Webber, the chairman of the Missouri Democratic Party.
U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill also weighed in on the controversy brewing in her home state,
calling Chappelle-Nadal’s statement “outrageous” and saying she “should resign.”
So far, though, Chappelle-Nadal has given no indication that she plans to step down.
A motion expelling Chappelle-Nadal from the state senate would require the support of two-thirds of the senators.
Republicans currently hold 25 of 34 seats in the senate.
It will take 23 senators to expel Chappelle-Nadal.
