State Rep. Warren Love must resign or be removed from office

[bathroommonkey76]

We reckon that Governor Eric Greitens and the Republican leadership in the Missouri Legislature would be hypocrites at best and enable of vigilante violence at worst if they don’t call for the immediate resignation of state Rep. Warren Love (R-Osceola) – and initiate proceedings to remove Love if he does not resign.

Love is a self-described good-old-boy who hankers for a bygone time when cowboys could string up people from a tree with a rope and take public executions into their own hands.

The good old cowboy from Osceola – 92 percent white in the 2010 U.S. Census, with exactly 15 black people counted in the town of less than 900 – got itchy for his lasso finger when he heard about the vandalism of a Confederate monument in Springfield National Cemetery on Wednesday, August 30.

In response, Love posted on Facebook: “This is totally against the law. I hope they are found & hung from a tall tree with a long rope. National Veterans Cemetery in Springfield, Mo.”

The governor, Republican leadership in the Legislature and even the Missouri Democratic Party called for state Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal to resign when she posted on a Facebook comment thread that she hoped President Trump would be assassinated. We also called for her resignation. No elected official should make a public death wish for anyone, including a disruptive and unhinged U.S. president who daily endangers millions of lives.

The president did not vandalize the Confederate monument in Springfield, but whoever committed the crime should not be punished by death, and no elected official should be calling for perpetrators’ deaths at the hands of vigilantes. Clearly, Love is just as unfit as Chappelle-Nadal to represent the people of Missouri in public office.

U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri) gets it. “Representative Love should resign for his unacceptable comments,” she stated. McCaskill also called for Chappelle-Nadal’s resignation.
