The Secret Service is looking into it. Among those who thought the state senator crossed the line were some Missouri Democrats such as U.S Sen. Claire McCaskill and U.S. Rep. Lacy Clay:

Chappelle-Nadal, however, remains defiant:
I am not resigning. When POC are respected by this WH & they are willing to do real work, I'll sit down with them. People are traumatized! https://t.co/rmsL4pQSTg
