The Missouri state lawmaker who said she hoped President Trump would be assassinated was formally reprimanded by her colleagues.

The Missouri Senate voted Wednesday to censure Maria Chappelle-Nadal over the controversial comment, which she posted on Facebook last month.

The censure resolution is a formal expression of the Senate's disappointment in Chappelle-Nadal's conduct. 

She gets to keep her seat for now, but lawmakers can always circle back to the issue and expel her.
