A special election in Minnesota will determine who will fill the seat of the late Democratic state Rep. Melissa Hortman, just over three months after she and her husband were fatally shot in what Gov. Tim Walz at the time called "a politically motivated assassination." https://cnn.it/3VjYf2L

The killer was carrying a list of Democrats to shoot. What does CNN think his motive might have been?

Millions of us call it an assassination, CNN. JFC you all. Slobbering over Kirk, but using 'he said it, not us' quotes for a right-wing murdered Democrat.

Why isn't there more outrage over Melissa Hortman and her husbands assassination??? She's a member of congress yet trump didn't say shit about her murder. Instead they're idolizing a big mouth maga republican who was not a part of congress or any government, just a LOSER spewing political poison.

"a politically motivated assassination." Why the speech marks? Of course that's what it was. The killer then tried to kill another Democratic politician.

It seems every news outlet is doing something like this these days however CNN remains the worst. Take this post 2 days ago calling Charlie Kirk's murder an "assassination" despite still not having any idea of the killer's motives. bsky.app/profile/cnn....

In this case, Trump is not scandalized, they are not martyrs of freedom or democracy. This is only a news item. The MAGA political class will never return power peacefully. They will prefer a civil war to eliminate all opposition.

Has FoxNews fired the a$$hole who wants to kill homeless human beings? Have military leaders found their balls to say no to "illegal orders" of blowing up boats off of Venezuela and send Trump & rapist Hegseth's name to the Hague for human right violations/murder, for justice and the rule of law?
