Maria Chappelle-Nadal, censured Missouri state senator, compares Trump to Hitler

Missouri State Sen. Maria Chappelle-Nadal posted a meme on Twitter Thursday depicting President Trump to Adolf Hilter.Ms. Chappelle-Nadal, a Democrat, posted a meme of Mr. Trump taking off a shirt and becoming Hilter.The meme parodies off the controversial Dove body wash ad that shows a black woman taking off a brown T-shirt shirt and then showing a white woman in a light T-shirt.

The ad was called racist, and the company apologized. She told The Associated Press that she posted the meme because of his tweets on Puerto Rico earlier on Thursday. She said she has family on the island, and the issue was “personal.”Ms. Chappelle-Nadal is no stranger to controversy, having been censured by her colleagues when she posted on Facebook that she wanted Mr. Trump assassinated. The state Senate reprimanded her in September.

 


 “We hold these truths to be self-evident,”  former vice president Biden said during a campaign event in Texas on Monday. "All men and women created by — you know, you know, the thing.”

I think that trumpers, who after all excuse him dissing a gold star mother, have given up the right to be offended.

Well, they still got freedom of speech out there in Missouri.
If someone doesn't like what she says,  they can go to their safe space.

But, on the bright side, some trump snow flakes can feign outrage over someone that they never heard of.

We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

If posting something on twitter that others find offensive is a reasonable standard for calling for an elected official’s resignation, Trump should have resigned months ago.

What company apologized and for what ? It was the Senator that ran the meme on Twitter. 

She obviously is an over the top in her choice of words and memes for lashing out at the POTUS. Her earlier one where she called for his assasination was way out of bounds and should have caused her to be censured by her fellows in Congress. I don't believe that happened. 

The current over the top meme was certainly her right to do whether you like it or not. Her statement about it was actually very pointed and pretty much spot on when as reported she said. 

She criticized the Trump administration’s efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, saying the slow recovery would lead to widespread “illness, death and despair.”On Thursday, Trump lashed out at Puerto Rico, insisting in tweets that the federal government can’t keep sending help “forever” and suggesting the U.S. territory was to blame for its financial struggles.Forty-five deaths in Puerto Rico have been blamed on Hurricane Maria, about 85 percent of Puerto Rico residents still lack electricity and the government says it hopes to have electricity restored completely by March.“Our president has again failed the American people,” Chappelle-Nadal said. In a later tweet on Thursday, Chappelle-Nadal said “Puerto Rico deserves to be part of a nation that will not authorize GENOCIDE on its own people.”“I have a First Amendment right to share my opinion, and if a meme is offensive to people, they should look at the First Amendment again,” she said. “Then ask yourself why you have different qualifications for a black woman of Puerto Rican descent than other people putting up a meme with no words. It’s Twitter.”

In 2015 Republican Congressman Randy Weber called President Obama a "Socialist dictator" and then compared him to Hitler.
He did not resign and remains in office.

In 2008 conservative columnist Thomas Sowell compared Obama to Hitler.
He didn't lose his job.

Then there is The Republican Women of Anne Arundel County, Maryland. In June 2009, the GOP group published a letter from its president, who explicitly compared the recently elected president to the Nazi leader.

Then we have The North Iowa Tea Party. In summer 2010, just a few months after President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act, a Tea Party group near Mason City, Iowa purchased a billboard meant to “draw attention to socialism.” The sign—which warned that “Radical leaders prey on the fearful & naive”—showed large photographs of Obama, Hitler, and communist leader Vladimir Lenin beneath the labels “Democrat Socialism,” “National Socialism,” and “Marxist Socialism.”

Which country music singer made an awkward Hitler quip? Hank Williams Jr. In a 2011 interview with Fox and Friends, Williams attacked a “golf summit” President Obama had held with House Speaker John Boehner. It was “one of the biggest political mistakes ever,” said the singer, most famous for his presence in the Monday Night Football broadcasts. “It would be like Hitler playing golf with Netanyahu.

Whose sermon compared health care reform to Hitler? Bishop Daniel Jenky. In a 2012 homily, the Peoria, Illinois bishop accused President Obama of waging war on Christian believers through health care policies, and the “contraception mandate” in particular. “Hitler and Stalin, at their better moments, would just barely tolerate some churches remaining open, but would not tolerate any competition with the state in education, social services, and health care,” Jenky was quoted as saying. “In clear violation of our First Amendment rights, Barack Obama—with his radical, pro-abortion, and extreme secularist agenda—now seems intent on following a similar path.”

Which elected official used social media to compare the president to “Hitler?” Arizona state Rep. Brenda Barton. In a post on Facebook, the Arizona lawmaker blasted Obama for closing federal monuments during the October 2013 government shutdown. “Someone is paying the National Park Service thugs overtime for their efforts to carry out the order of De Fuhrer…

Who is the billionaire who thinks Democrats are a goose step away from becoming the Nazi Party? Home Depot co-founder Ken Langone. In a 2014 interview with Politico, the major GOP donor fretted over Democratic appeals to populism and against the “1 percent,” including those from President Obama and New York Mayor Bill de Blasio. “I hope it’s not working,” he said. “Because if you go back to 1933, with different words, this is what Hitler was saying in Germany.
