The governor of Missouri is a Democrat but he has handled the situation in Ferguson like a Republican, staying out of sight while his world crumbled around him, looking for someone else to blame.
Enter Missouri State Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal, who has already been gassed by the Ferguson police when she joined the protests.
In an interview on MSNBC, Maria Chappelle-Nadel didn’t hold her tongue, calling Gov. Nixon a “coward” for his disappearing acts.
“Our governor, Governor Nixon, has been absent from the minority community, not for a few years, but for a few decades, and this is inexcusable. And he only comes to the minority community when it’s politically expedient. And now that the world’s eyes are on Missouri… the governor is now here. But he’s not really at Ground Zero. He’s never come to Ground Zero… For that, I call him a coward.”
