KANSAS CITY, Mo. A Missouri lawmaker who drew bipartisan outrage over her brief Facebook comment expressing hope that President Trump would be assassinated apologized publicly Sunday to Trump and his family, calling the post a mistake.

But Sen. Maria Chappelle-Nadal, a black Democrat, said she has no plans to resign as numerous top Republicans and Democrats in Missouri have insisted since Thursdays post in which she wrote, I hope Trump is assassinated! Gov. Eric Greitens and Lt. Gov. Mike Parson, both Republicans, said Friday that state senators should oust her.

I made a mistake, and Im owning up to it. And Im not ever going to make a mistake like that again. I have learned my lesson. My judge and my jury is my Lord, Jesus Christ, Chappelle-Nadal, who later deleted the post from her personal Facebook page, told reporters at a church in Ferguson.
