Minnesota State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were shot and killed early Saturday morning in "what appears to be a politically motivated assassination," Gov. Tim Walz said at a news conference. Another state lawmaker and his wife were shot and injured. Follow live updates: cnn.it/3FPAs6O
What parties did they belong to. You think that part matters?
Democrat, naturally.
Their blood is on the hands of every do nothing republican congressman, John Robert’s court, and every MAGA supporter. May this strengthen the resolve of all those who fight to uphold the constitution.
MAGATs are targeting Democrats. Hmmm I wonder why this is happening. Maybe bc we have a fascist regime running around in masks kidnapping, targeting people and threatening Democrats? Impeach Trump and his cabinet now.
Sad
😭
Democrats targeted. Say it in your post.
This horror is on Trump and the GOP for making hate OK!
And queue the awful MAGA conspiracy people already on X with false information and conspiracies that this is a set up to make their party look bad.
Welcome to Gilead !

the republican violence against our own americans has to stop-florida officials saying go ahead & run your car through protesters-NO, they have rights too-they can peacefully protest on public streets-then you have johnson saying "tar&feather"newsom-what the hell is wrong with this man of faith????
My heart and prayers go out to Minnesotans today. Condolences to family, friends and constituents & speedy recovery as well.
The TERRORISTS who commited those murders and attacks must be caught and punished immidiately!!
He was caught the next day.
Democrats are going to be exterminated by te republicans the same way the Gazans will be exterminated by the jews.
These acts solidify my fucking resolve to protest today. ##NoKings #impeachtrumpnow
Wtf is happening to our culture?
Trump will pardon the murderers. You watch…
MAGA at work!!! The assasin will probably get a medal
The #ProudBoys on Tour. Coming soon in the area near you.
Fight or fascism! Make your choice.
We defeated fascism on Nov. 5th 2024.
By electing king trump? Is this your silly idea of anti-fascism? You're not a student of history I see.
The Minnesota assassin had a list of political targets to hit. Gov. Walz asks the good people of Minnesota to not participate in protests today and stay safe.
Wrong message! If people stay home they win!
there is no question from which side the violence comes from
This is the fault of DONALD TRUMP he is directly responsible as he has fomented this kind of violence by his words and deeds Trump is the problem but tbh, most of the GOP is pretty gutless
We have entered a new stage of authoritarianism—- when the leaders encourage violence. #Trump
Shooter had a list. It was 100% coincidence that police caught him after his 2nd shooting - he was heading to his 3rd target next. Manhunt is underway. I live in BP and we're still under a "Shelter in Place" order.
Et voilà ce que donne ce défilé militaire et surtout l’appel à l’armée fait par Trump. Ce président incite à la violence par sa façon de ne rien respecter, ni humains, ni lois, ni ententes, ni paroles. Très triste.
“As culture wars increasingly displace class struggle, many white men cling to their racial and gender privilege, aligning with reactionary forces that promise to restore a fading dominance.” www.greeneuropeanjournal.eu/why-white-me...
It's an act of terrorism. PERIOD.
I just hate this...We were a pretty good country until Trump first came down that escalator to announce he was running for president. His poisonous opinions and personality has changed us all.
Trump right-wingers showing their true colors.
This is on Trump. You don't talk like how he has and encouraging his Cult to act and be surprised of any violence done is in his name. Trump has already proven he enjoys the chaos and destruction done in his name or for him..
Hey @cnn.com Long past time to call for the impeachment of the Monster in Chief.
Fox Spews will spin this into "how can it be political"...and it must have been some sort of affair or something!!!
The result of Trumps politics.
Please note that not a single Republican has to announce this!
....in trump's "America " it is DIFFICULT to even trust ANYONE in a military or police uniform now.
MAGA?
We have seen this in Italy many times, because people can do mad things even without a dictator but just with the wrong example. Anyway it Looks like you also have an emergono dictatorship problem. Take care and get on the streets.
This is the harvest of this administration's hate speech, lies, and vulgar language when speaking about their opponents.
They were Democrats. Say it CNN, why are you so afraid?
This is terrible. It would be so disrespectful for Trump's bday parade to go on today. #assassination #parade #egomaniac
My neighbor hood. We are still under a shelter in place as the suspect is at large and armed and dangerous. Melissa was my representative and neighbor. 😢😢😢
Peace be upon her and her family. Stay safe.
You can bet your sweet bippy trump is behind the killings!
Thanks Mike Johnson for using violent rhetoric (tar and feather) and also Kristi Noem .... they may denounce this but they are lighting the gasoline.
Trump's America. He allows masked people to arrest and grab people without any identification with unmarked cars. What do you expect in Trump's America, It's just the beginning.
Assassination

You are complicit in this, CNaziN
If they find this hateful attacker is a pardoned Jan 6th insurrectionist Trump let out of jail will trump be prosecuted or impeached for this irresponsible action? Promises a safer America arresting farmer migrants and lets violent criminals off free.
And our president pardoned violent Capitol attackers from Jan 6th that injured officers and threatened to hang Mike Pence. No doubt they would have hung Pence. This is why a hateful criminally charged president should be controlled with balance of power from Congress, Supreme Court. God save US.
Our US leadership has introduced unleashed such venom in society?! We need a US leader that has the skills and diplomacy to bring America together not tear us all apart. Not ruin world economy. Makes me wonder if this could be the actions of a pardoned Jan 6th violent insurrectionist?
This is what hatred does. It kills. Words are powerful. Use them to spread love and wisdom, and not to inflame violence against people. #NoKings #resist #standtogether #goodtrouble
Trumps carnage unleashed, pardoned hundreds of domestic terrorists with fantasies of white power. Congrats GOP you are now the Communist Party calling in the military, the white militia to kill sitting politicians/American citizens.. Mitch McConnell & GOP this is all on you and dickhead trump
We are witnessing MAGA as the prime breeding ground for domestic terrorists, as expected. Trump is accelerating absolute power takeover by inciting violent actions by his craziest supporters (criminal ProudBoys are now his private militia) and pushing the military to act illegally. Wake up, people!
And learn history. Every single step of this administration is following Hitler’s propaganda and actions ( soon aktions) You can know what comes next, which is an escalation of violence, because that’s what the original Nazis did. This isn’t hard to figure out, just read the history.
I agree.
Wasn't the guy who shot the rep appointed by Waltz at one point? 🤔 With all the violence, sounds like the Democratic party are the crazy ones..
The assassin is an anti-abortion Christian Nationalist. Educate yourself.
Earlier this week Speaker Johnson called for political violence. This is not coincidence. Speaker Johnson should be censured for calling for political opponents to be tarred and feathered.
You knew it was coming. How long can the paedo president continue his reign of hate?
At this point, it’s up to us and the 2nd Amendment.
Stop letting this go as both sides.
As a European, I cannot ignore the fact that the shootings in Minnesota remind me of the radicalisation of certain religious groups in Europe. Constant and perpetual nastiness and religious and political extremism always lead to loss of life. It's time for the MAGA extreme right to tone it down!
CNN both siding this in 3..2..
The level of political murders and attempted murders in the US is multiple times that of other modern developed democracies. It's why the US is special, I guess.
The real definition of their “exceptionalism” 😬🤬
MN (Dem) State Rep….why do you continue to AVOID specifying everyone shot was a DEMOCRAT?
And ALL it would have taken was to click on one little link. Here's the headline little revolutionary. "Minnesota Democratic House leader killed in ‘politically motivated’ attack" Where's your self respect?
In the past I would have assumed that the GOP would not take this small window to cause trouble in the State legislature, but these days I’m not so sure.
Just another murder caused by @donaldjtrump-maga.bsky.social . FUCK TRUMP
Looking forward to seeing how CNN and the rest of the media bothsides this one over the coming days
They won’t even report it. 🤬
“Politically motivated”? Just call it what it was… an act of terrorism. Law enforcement should have a zero tolerance of politically motivated acts of violence and call it what it is… an act of terrorism.
🤍
Can't be more excited and thrilled at how things are unfolding in this colonizing, racist and genocide commiting county. I'm getting my 🍿 and awaiting to see them killing each other in a civil war, fits them perfectly.
Country*
If you are in a low risk group please try to find a way to get out there. #NoKings Thank you for your service Rep. Melissa Hortman DoD 6/14/2025
Rest Peace. America is a shit show.
You did this by putting Scott Jennings on the air.
Gun violence is a greater threat than undocumented migrants.
Trump’s rhetoric is the cause.
Hey, Gov., sounds like you were right…it WAS politically motivated. Turns out, it may be one of your guys. How embarrassing for you. x.com/westernlensm...
Every single member of Congress, every single Governor needs to immediately stop what they are doing and address this matter, right now. We have an immediate, clear and present danger to the Republic. Anyone who doesn’t come out, today, no longer serves the public. #immediate
Tyranny did this to us
How long will it take for 🍆🍠💩to pardon the assassins once they’re caught? Conversely, how do we know he didn’t send his Seal Team 6 in a scenario hypothesized by Justice Sotemeyer?
💙❤️
Horrific, but not surprising. And it's not even noon on Trump's Birthday.
FREEDOM FROM “PROLETARIAT SLAVERY BY ELITE MARXIST DICTATORS” DAY!
