No she didn't. She deleted a FB post, hoping no one would see it.
As usual, she's only sorry got caught.

She should be put on trial.

Oh look, another false free speech advocate.

So many to be collected in this thread

She should resign.


Any elected official calling for the assassination of someone (other than the obvious enemies in war/terrorism) is unfit for office.


When you're an elected official, you can't just spout whatever crap pops into your head.

I agree.

But I'm shocked that the extreme speechists aren't defending her.

Shocked.

Conspiracy to commit a felony? Counseling the commission of a felony? If someone does shoot THE DONALDcan she be charged as an accessory?
Maybe she can be charged for some racist crime?

Look at you, finally getting that whole hate speech concept.

How cute.

There hasn't been a really good assassination in the US in a long time. Remember when upset people were shooting politicians of note with regularity? And, of course, political activists too.

The presidents - Abe Lincoln, Jimmy Garfield, Bill McKinley and JFK

Then RFK. George Wallace. MLK jr.
Medgar Evers, Malcolm X

MLK jr's mother

The twin Hueys - Huey Long and Huey Newton

I could go on. Either the Secret Service is getting better at the protection game, or the government has our youth tamed and contained using cellphone apps and games.

Little noted is the fascist element that exists on the Alt Left these days, violently against free speech, in favour of santizing history of any ambiguity or dissent from political correctness.

The removing of these genuine war memorials (those erected by bereaved communities in honour fallen soldiers) to Confederate War Dead is akin to book burnings of the Nazis.. to cleanse the symbolism and language to acceptable standards of ideological purity.. to erase and rewrite history.

Chappelle-Nadal needs a pointed hood, cloak.. and a burning cross.

Even their descendants called for the removal of their statues in some cases after the car murder recently.

Well, leastways that used to be the rule.

But I agree. Stiff investigation by the Secret Service, resign or be expelled by the legislature.

No prosecution. She hasn't, on these facts, committed a crime.

Thinking double-plus ungood thoughts will be a crime in the very near future. How is the round-up of IP addresses of posters who don't like Trump going?

Call in the Jesuit's .

I think if Trump was killed there would be partying in the streets of the USA...

Sorta like when Castro died.

Do you always like to wish death on people ?

Gee, that's too bad senator David Perdue wasn't prosecuted for wishing the same for Obama. Ditto for preacher Steven Anderson and for far right radical Ted Nugent.

Double standards, much?

OK, you made me look.
'wishing the same' ? Not at all, and you know it.
And then shall we cover the list of celebrities who have openly made threats against Trump ?
It's a lot longer than Obama, who actually never got more death threats than Bush or Clinton.

Everyone here knows:
She won't resign.
She won't be censured.
She won't be forced out by the Dems.
She won't be charged, never mind convicted of anything.
The hysterical threatening language against the President will continue.
Lots of lefties are hoping someone will try to kill Trump.
