NBC 5 KSDK reports that Chappelle-Nadal has been stripped of all her committee assignments in the Missouri Senate — by her fellow Democrats, no less.
“It is important that the Missouri Senate conducts their work without distractions. With that in mind, Sen. Chappelle-Nadal has been removed from her committee assignments. This will help to ensure the success of the Senate, and the state, going forward,” [Senate Democratic Caucus leader Sen. Gina Walsh] said.
Previously, Chappelle-Nadal was a member of eight committees: veterans and military affairs; public assistance; seniors, families and children; judiciary and civil and criminal jurisprudence; government accountability; education; health and pensions; and public employee retirement.
The controversial comment by Chappelle-Nadal, made on Thursday, prompted other lawmakers to call for her resignation. The comment was deleted shortly after, but a screenshot was already making the rounds on Twitter.
