Wow! Rep Maria Chappelle-Nadal just called Gov. Nixon "a coward"

[Skidmore]

on Andrea Mitchell's show. She raked him over the coals for being absent from dealing with the minority community "for decades" except when he wants their votes. She also pointed out that he was responsible for dismantling education opportunities for minority students. The national Dems need to pull any support from him.

1. Word was, he has presidential/vice-presidential aspirations.

He's blown that.

[Skidmore]

2. He sure has.

I wouldn't support him for any office. Bigoted and incompetent.

3. He's a disgrace

I would expect the GOP fucks to run for the hills over issues like this but I expected more from a Democrat. I'm also pretty disappointed in McCaskill.

6. McCaskill has been on my mind too. I guess she lost her voice suddenly.

No comments from her yet that I have seen.

7. She issued a statement last night.

She also spoke at a church and said that the situation must be demilitarized.
She has been one of the few political figures to even comment. She was a prosecutor so when she lands on the police, they have gone waaaaay over the line.

[Skidmore]

8. Thanks, hadn't heard her quoted on the news.

[Robbins]

4. Yep
