There’s been some controversy over whether protesters in Ferguson, Mo., have thrown Molotov cocktails at riot police, but there’s no question that one Missouri state senator dropped a powerful F-bomb on Gov. Jay Nixon Thursday. TalkingPointsMemo’s Dylan Scott reports:
A Missouri state senator tweeted “F–K you” at Gov. Jay Nixon (D) Thursday morning, seemingly upset by his absence from the protests in Ferguson.
Sen. Maria Chappelle-Nadal (D), who represents the Ferguson area, has spent time in the city during the protests. KMOZ reported Wednesday that Chapelle-Nadal said she had been hit with tear gas while standing with protesters.
Situation in Ferguson does not represent who we are. Must keep the peace, while safeguarding rights of citizens and the press

As Governor, I'm committed to ensuring pain of last weekend's tragedy does not continue to be compounded by this ongoing crisis. #Ferguson

@GovJayNixon proved today how disconnected he is to the Black community. He's never been to Ground Zero. This is his Katrina!
