The Democratic Missouri lawmaker who said on social media she hoped President Trump would be assassinated was publicly censured by the state's Republican-led Senate Wednesday.
"Again, I apologize for the Facebook posting," Sen. Maria Chappelle-Nadal said in a statement released to local media after the reprimand measure passed the Missouri Senate 28-2. "However, I have made it clear that I will not resign. The voters of my district elected me to represent them. I will work tirelessly for the remainder of my elected term to bring about positive change for my constituents and all Missourians."
The same legislative body failed to pass a measure expelling Chappelle-Nadal from the upper chamber.
In August, Chappelle-Nadal wrote in a now-deleted comment on her private Facebook page that she wished Trump would be killed to end to his presidency, with the remarks prompting calls for her to step down.

She should resign - take accountability for her actions...but that is not the dumbocrat way - they are above the laws that apply to us mere mortals!
Her peers that failed to expel her are complicit in her ongoing participation in the downward spiral she wants the American people to experience!
That's total BS....the state should have a special recall petition and can her butt!
She should loose her license from a lay person a threat against a president should be imprisonment or used to be.
Should be in jail like that mark schreli just about talking about a peice of hair
This is BS! White people that express their opinion or use the "N" word get fired, or forced to quit.
Geez, and I thought she might get a punishment. She'd be fired if she was white. No apology would get her off the hook. And y'all know it!
Did she say in a backdoor way that what she wrote was representative of the majority of her constituents?
Work tirelessly. Hahahaha
not good enough. If she doesn't have enough class to resign she should be terminated and hopefully, they can find some charges to go along with that.
she should have been locked up.
Black privilege allows her to keep her job.
Black privilege let the POS at ESPN keep her job too.
I need a safe space with all this black privilege.
She might "Apologize," but she is not sorry!
