Democrat Virgin Islands Del Stacey Plaskett said President Donald Trump “needs to be shot” before quickly correcting herself while discussing his classified documents investigation.
Plaskett, who represents a nonvoting U.S. territory, was Trump’s so-called handling of classified documents on MSNBC before making a comment.
“Having Trump not only having the codes but now having the classified information for Americans and being able to put that out and share it in his resort with anyone and everything which comes through should be terrifying to all Americans,” Plaskett told MSNBC.
“He needs to be shot,” Democrat Plaskett said of Trump before quickly correcting herself by adding, “Stopped.”

However, the video quickly went viral on social media, with some Twitter users calling it a ‘Freudian slip” and calling for her to be removed from office.
“Imagine the outrage if a Republican said this about a Democrat,” conservative communicator Steve Guest tweeted.
“Dontcha’ hate when your mouth says What you are really thinking?” WorldCat Corporation President Jim Hanson tweeted.
“This is a direct threat to President Trump, and someone needs to investigate. Plaskett needs to be removed immediately,” a Twitter user wrote Monday.
“That’s not a slip of the tongue. She’s an adult. She should be able to handle public speaking with her position. #RemovePlaskett.”
Ryan Fournier, the founder of Students for Trump, also posted the video and said, “Lock her up!”
Despite Plaskett saying Americans should be terrified that Trump had classified documents , recent polls indicate the former president is gaining more support from GOP.
Plaskett also claimed Trump is “going to have his day in court” after the former president pleaded not guilty to 37 federal charges.
“Of course, he’s going to have his day in court,” the Democrat told MSNBC.
“Let’s remember that he was indicted by his peers — individual Americans who live in South Florida, a red state — they saw enough that there was probable cause for him to bring this indictment for him to stand trial.”
Plaskett is as anti-Trump as they come, serving as an impeachment manager in the case against Trump in 2021 in which they argued the president was “singularly responsible” for the January 6th Capitol riot.
Trump was acquitted after the second impeachment trial in February 2021.

Citizens, please be gentle with the addled floozie. She is not to be blamed for being born as one of the cohort that so very few of that feral bunch has the mentality required to be a success in either a second- or first-world country. Heck, her subspecies has immense difficulty in creating then operating a successful third-world country!!!!
