Missouri lawmaker who wished for President Trump's assassination now links him to Hitler

[TexasTowelie]

The Missouri lawmaker who posted her wish for President Donald Trump to be assassinated likened the president to German dictator Adolf Hitler on Thursday.

Sen. Maria Chappelle-Nadal, D-University City, tweeted out an image showing Trump pulling over a shirt, revealing the face of Hitler. She did not caption the image.

Chappelle-Nadal explained her rationale to the News-Leader in a social media message.

"The meme has been shared among St. Louis protesters for nearly a week now. It's old and support the protesters fighting against brutality," Chappelle-Nadal said. "I also support Puerto Rico since that is where my family lives and are suffering. Two of which are military veterans. I've been mainly posting about Puerto Rico and St. Louis protests."

2. It is terrible to wish for his assassination

He would become a martyr, that's the last thing this country needs.
