According to this article, the Missouri state senator who advocated for President Trump’s assassination “has been stripped of her committee assignments” even after apologizing.
Sen. Chappelle-Nadal’s apology said “President Trump, I apologize to you and your family. 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.” Sen. Chappelle-Nadal made her apology while in “at the Wellspring Church in Ferguson, Missouri.”
Democrats have insisted since President Trump was inaugurated that he’s a racist. Democrats have also insisted that they’re the protectors of the First Amendment. Neither statement is true. Further, Sen. Chappelle-Nadal has shown herself to represent the worst in politics.
For years, Democrats have portrayed Republicans as racists. The more we highlight Democrats like Sen. Chappelle-Nadal, the more it’s painfully obvious that there’s lots of racists in the Democratic Party.
The tide might be turning, albeit grudgingly. After last weekend’s Antifa’s Berkeley riot, Nancy Pelosi criticized Antifa last night, saying “Our democracy has no room for inciting violence or endangering the public, no matter the ideology of those who commit such acts. The violent actions of people calling themselves antifa [sic] in Berkeley this weekend deserve unequivocal condemnation, and the perpetrators should be arrested and prosecuted.”
After the Charlottesville riot two weeks ago, Democrats, not to mention the MSM, were apoplectic because President Trump didn’t respond forcefully and quickly enough for their liking. It was a 5-day story. Ms. Pelosi sat silent on the Berkeley riots for several days. We didn’t see articles from pundits like Charles Blow or Eugene Robinson criticizing Ms. Pelosi’s silence.
Pelosi’s words ring hollow when viewed historically:
The House’s top Democrat had repeatedly slammed the National Park Service as “misguided” for allowing the rally, saying she had “grave concerns” about the “public safety hazard” NPS would create by “permitting a white supremacist rally” in the middle of Crissy Field in San Francisco.
Simply put, Ms. Pelosi criticized Antifa after the political pressure got high. I’d argue that her ‘apology’ is as phony as a $3 bill.
The evidence is mounting that the Democratic Party is returning to its racist roots. It’s important to remind people that the Democratic Party was the party that wrote the Jim Crow laws and filibustered the Civil Rights Act.

Pelosi needs a Justice Democrat in a primary. Then her ossification might show. She is as yesterday as Michele Bachmann, or as yesterday as all the quaint “Never Trump” trumpeting you - everybody - knew would change.
Any bet on how State Supremes will decide the pissing match between the other two branches. To me it seems a political question where the judiciary should defer.
Twenty seven page opinion, with concurrences and dissents, saying: You guys work it out.
Gary, admitting not keeping up, did you write about Bannon?
Eric, I didn’t write about Bannon because he’s an a$$hole. I met him at the 2011 RightOnline Conference in Minneapolis. He isn’t a racist that I could tell but he wasn’t a man of integrity that I could tell. As for the Supremes, I think they’ll rule in Dayton’s favor because he stuffed the Supreme Court with people who are Democrats first, judges last. I think it’s a constitutional question with political ramifications. If they don’t rule in the legislature’s favor, I’ll be pi$$ed because a governor could negotiate a deal with the legislature, then line-item veto the legislature’s operating budget & hold the legislature hostage to get the rest of the things he wants. The legislature will be powerless because they will have given up things that have become law. Their negotiating power would be nonexistent at that point. Where would the checks and balances be if the Dayton Court ruled in his favor?
That’s 10X as despicable a thing as anything Democrats have accused Trump of doing.
