https://www.missourinet.com/2018/10/25/phrase-crazy-democrats-could-be-a-double-edged-sword-for-missouris-mccaskill/"CNN reported that outgoing State Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal of University Park said the phrase crazy Democrats could be referring to African American voters in cities. Chappelle-Nadal told CNN that McCaskill is calling her base in the urban areas crazy Democrats and shes relying on those so-called crazy Democrats to make sure she wins.
McCaskill was one of numerous Republicans and Democrats to call on Chappelle-Nadal to resign in August 2017 when the state Senator posted on Facebook that she wished someone would assassinate Trump. Chappelle-Nadal was removed from all her committee assignments by the Democratic caucus shortly after the Facebook incident.
St. Louis based Democratic Congressman William Lacy Clay, who also called for Chappelle-Nadals resignation, recently expressed support for McCaskill. The two-term U.S. Senator has been criticized for overlooking African American voters in the current election cycle. Lacy Clay told Missourinet that he has a very good working relationship with McCaskill.
Shes always there for issues that impact the African American community, said Lacy Clay. And she always stands with (Democratic) Representative (Emanuel) Cleaver and I on the issues that impact our communities."
