Democrat slammed after accidentally saying Trump 'needs to be shot' before quickly correcting herself

Democrat Virgin Islands Del. Stacey Plaskett appeared to accidentally say that former President 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 Sunday when she made the perplexing 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 social media, with several Twitter users taking the comment seriously and calling for her removal from office.
