‘Quite the Freudian slip from Stacey Plaskett,’ Twitter user says of Virgin Islands delegate
Plaskett accidentally says Trump ‘needs to be shot … stopped’ during live interview
Democrat Virgin Islands Delegate Stacey Plaskett appeared to accidentally say that former President Donald Trump “needs to be shot” while discussing his classified documents investigation.
Plaskett, who represents a nonvoting U.S. territory, was criticizing Trump’s handling of classified documents during a live segment on MSNBC on Sunday when she made the comment.
“Having Trump not only having the codes but now having the classified information for Americans and being able to put that out and share it in his resort with anyone and everything who comes through should be terrifying to all Americans,” Plaskett told MSNBC.
“He needs to be shot,” she said before quickly attempting to correct herself by adding “stopped.”

The video immediately began circulating on social media, with several Twitter users taking the comment seriously and calling for her removal from office.
“Imagine the outrage if a Republican said this about a Democrat,” conservative communicator Steve Guest tweeted.
