Facebook page the same day she posted it last month and apologized. She has said the remark was made in frustration over Trump’s response to a violent white nationalist rally in Virginia.
The comment was met with bipartisan calls for her to resign, but she hasn’t stepped down.
On Wednesday, the Republican-dominated Senate voted to publicly censure her.
Meanwhile, in the Missouri House, lawmakers opened an ethics review of GOP Rep. Warren Love’s post calling for a Confederate monument vandal to be hanged.
