BLAINE, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz says former state House Speaker Melissa Hortman [a Democrat] and her husband were killed in a politically motivated assassination. A second lawmaker and his wife were shot and wounded.
“We must all, in Minnesota and across the country, stand against all forms of political violence,” Walz said at a press conference Saturday. “Those responsible for this will be held accountable.”
The wounded lawmaker was identified as state Sen. John Hoffman, a Democrat, was first elected in 2012.
Even though the suspect hasn’t been caught yet, we know the following:
No matter how much right wing media he consumed, media that often portrays liberals as sub-human, that media had no bearing on his decision to go on a killing spree that just happened to target people that his media consumption portrayed as evil.
At some point in his life he was traumatized by a trans person using the wrong bathroom, a pride flag being flown by a neighbor, or a woman deciding to have an abortion.
Easy availability of a gun or guns had nothing to do with this. There’s no way to regulate guns without infringing on the inalienable rights of Americans.
Democrats pointing out that this was a political assassination are politicizing the sad case of someone with mental issues and they’re the real problem here.
If the shooter was white, so what, and if he wasn’t, Democrats need to realize that non-whites are prone to violence.
In other words, everyone needs to shut up and move on. It’s been a couple of hours already. Jeez.
Update:
The guy had “No Kings” posters in his car. Fox will tell us that he was probably a Democrat any moment now.
