Presidential pardon coming in 3...2....

Ask Pete Stauber

💔

💔

Violence against lawmakers is beyond unacceptable - it’s terrorism. But in today’s America, the shooter will likely be called a ‘victim’ and pardoned within the year.

Please be safe out there. 💙

THEY HAVE WAGED WAR ON AMERICANS.

THIS. IS. TERRORISM! Republicans are terrorists.

When they take down a Senator in a federal building during a press conference for attempting to ask a question, when their Speaker of the House suggests violence against a Governor without accountability it does nothing but incite more violence. So sorry Governor Walz. #MinnesotaStrong #NoKings

My deepest condolences 😭

There is no coming back to normal after this.

We know the individual responsible for this:

That is the face of pure, irredeemable evil and hate. I honestly think that this POS was just born this way. I don't think he ever stood a chance. Classic sociopath

Yes!. Absolutely. He created this social climate in our country. He and his fascist regime are responsible for all the predatory violence happening since he set foot in the WH in 2016. No ifs ands or buts about it. And !THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTS! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Yeah, he thinks his attitude is so great and funny at times. Not great...

Stay safe Gov Walz 🫶🏽

The country feels your hurt Governor Walz. We send you our hugs and prayers and know we are behind you 100%

And he posed as a cop??? And these cops mask? This has to end

Umm..yeah...if it dresses in total cop gear....and drives a real cop car...ITS AN F-ING COP! Never forget the same dept of cops snuffed out George Floyd...lots of butthurt Nazi cops still lurking...also state legislature is or was until today 50/50... anyone wanna guess who wants to kill Democrats?

How do we know he was posing?

The cops literally saw him, thought he was a cop and let him go kill two people inside the house. Engaged in gun fire and let him get away.

It’s said right there in the video.

Do we know it wasn't a cop

Some of those who work forces are the same who burn crosses

I was never really into RAM back in the day, but I've been going through some of their stuff recently, because of this shit.

🤯

Cops thought he was a cop.

There is that.

They fled on foot and left behind the SUV.

Ok?

For context, they shot at cops who later arrived and left the SUV with a hit list inside of it. So, not a cop.

None of this makes the shooter not a cop. The only thing that does is finding out who he is

If they're not law enforcement, who are they?

He had a squad car with lights on.... It's seeming like a good chance he's a cop. Unless he's one of those serial killer types who purposely buys an old cop car at auction, then spends time meticulously repainting it & sourcing lights, then bides his time since it's illegal to have it? Occam's razor

• Manhunt underway: A massive search is underway for 57-year-old Vance Boelter after the assassination of a Minnesota lawmaker and the attempted assassination of another.

Yes where would he have got the uniform and car...

I suppose until they catch him there is no way to know for sure. Unless, they got a pic of him and used facial rec. They do have some specific people they're looking for.

They have one person. And they found him. His wife and possibly his church was helping him hide. I hope they are arrested too.

Yeah. My thoughts exactly.

Despicable deed 🤦🏻‍♀️

Someone impersonating a police officer, or just a police officer. Frankly i wouldn't be surprised if it were a pig, and every goddam thing that implies.

It's so heartbreaking 💔that the lovely, caring, hardworking lady, Democratic Farmer-Labor Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, did not survive the assassination by a Maga-man who was pretending to be cop! 😭 OMG! 😰 Hoping & praying that Sen. John Hoffman & his dear wife, Yvette, survive! 😥💙🙏

Right wingers are already spreading conspiracy theories about it being Dems angry over their votes.

Angry over their votes???

I have a couple of screenshots on my page. It had to do with the repeal of healthcare for immigrants.

Of course

💔💔💔💔🤬🤬🤬🤬

Suspect is a low educated white male 20-40 years old, avid Trump supporter and vocal gun nut. He will have a history of unstable employment and a string of traffic violations, bad checks and domestic violence convictions. His white trash family will claim he’s the victim. Trump will pardon him.

Undoubtedly

Presidential pardons to follow?

So very sorry Governor Walz and to all Minnesotans. Sending love from Oregon. 💙💔

Strength to Minnesota.

Had tRump made any statement on this?

🌹🌹

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I’m so sorry

I’m so sorry for your loss Governor. Those poor children left with no parents. I can’t even wrap my head around this but my heart hurts.

I hope the kids weren't home.

It turns out their children are grown, which doesn’t change much, but at least young children weren’t involved.

🙏🫂😞💙

I understand, but these punishments are deliberate to force us to back down. Being punished means that the pressure is working. We must put all our hearts into pressuring out the fascist government. Love conquerors all!

Keep up the pressure

Uh, yeah it is.

“Politically motivated assassination”. - Gov Walz Appreciate you calling it out. Words matter.

He is was the one that the DNC had to put a leash on after he was calling them "weird". If he runs for president I hope he wins. He is exactly what we need. Someone on the left that isn't afraid to use their power and talk shit at the same time.

Him speaking out what is truly happening is why I feel he needs to be the next president we elect. He's the one with the best shot at fixing the nation iirc

He’s my governor.

He’s my governor too

Exactly.

Too much finger pointing going on. Don't play into the fear mongering. Rally around each other, show some grace, some compassion, some sense of humanity. Pray for the survivors and the victims' families. "We" stop this by coming together and defending each other's right to the pursuit of happiness.

Thank you Mr Walz.

My thoughts are with every Minnesotan. Thank you @governorwalz.mn.gov for your steadfast leadership. 😔

I will die mad that he is not our VP 🤬🤬🤬

I fucking hope I come back as a fucking ghost and haunt all those motherfuckers!🖕🏿🤬

Don’t be a diet cunt, go full strength cunt 💪🏼

Love that!!!! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🥰🥰🥰

Now would be the moment when the US would need a president who, just like Tim Walz, speaks plainly and not a narcissistic would-be king and felon who incites such murderers to such hideous deeds.

Deepest condolences & sympathy to the family, friends & colleagues of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark. Prayers for the recovery of Sen. John Hoffman & his wife, Yvette. We wish their families & communities safety, strength & the fortitude to endure this awful tragedy. 💙🇺🇸

It’s the god damned guns. FFS, reading about this from outside the United States and it’s so obvious. Tragedy after tragedy, year after year, decade after decade. Hand-wringing, prayers and inaction will never solve the problem.

You can’t solve a problem that you have no interest in solving.

Republicans have been voting against gun, immigration and healthcare reforms my entire life.

Same.

Yep. All in the name of Christianity. Jesus weeps

Exactly

How can anybody like this?

This is Trump's fault.

I really hope this gets sorted! There's no way it was random, nevermind if they stop there!

In the video they said the person had a list of targeted victims and that other lawmakers were on the list and under police protection.

That's like asking sharks to protect you from circling sharks.

Yes, said during the press conference. A manifesto list, they called it? Identified “lawmakers and other officials” who were notified immediately Several people detained for questioning and they’re looking for people of interest. No arrests. Manhunt continues. FBI involved.

Wow. Yeah, if they stop there. Finding this guy doesn't mean they are done.

I agree and $hitler Jr needed to send a message as we know he's furious that these are the largest mass protests worldwide in history against a sitting president.

TY!

It's been reported State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband have died. My god, what is the US turning into. Don't answer that.

Maggats world. They're fascist, if you don't agree you die. Remember the early years of Hitler.

Trump and his terrorists started this make them responsible!

Trump must GO!

You run one of only a few states where I trust you are doing every single thing your office can do to find him. 💙

I'm so sorry for the loss of Rep Hortman and her husband. Praying the Senator and his wife make a full recovery. This is terrifying they impersonated police. God help us 🥺 Stay safe!!

Bound to happen. ICE invited that scenario as soon as they started hunting without ID.

bsky.app/profile/char...

So was he impersonating a cop or was he a cop? Thats a pretty elaborate set of equipment for an impersonation.

Yeah, to have all the accoutrements of a cop and the SUV with the lights. The police said you couldn't have seen the difference. Maybe there is no difference...

Probably the same people who share their cosplay outfits with Christi Noem

I am absolutely horrified by this attack. I'm so sorry your country has been taken hostage by a fascist regime. I'm so sorry for the loss of your friends.

The 50 million for the fck faces parade would pay for 24/7 detail for all political servant's tRump, ALL Republicans & maga's have blood on their hands! ALL public servant's addresses & information need to be scrubbed. ALL maga's are suspect. ALL innocent immigrants need to released. Cancel parade

God Bless you Governor Walz. 🙏 Our hearts are with you, your state, and the victims family and friends. 💔

Yup. Not too keen on the new push to have everyone's info all together from every source all in one place. Makes it too easy to find people. That's what tRumpf wants, Homan and all, but if they want it we should resist.

this is so sad, so wrong😔

My Condolences 👏💜🇨🇦‼️

😢 This needs to be stopped.

Please stay safe, Governor. Our hearts are broken for the families of the victims.

Stay safe today, Minnesota. Our hearts are with you all ❤️❤️❤️

See? It’s always the white boys! Not the immigrants—Go get that mother fucker!!!

Governor Walz, I'm just stunned. Literally. I'm so saddened by your loss, Minnesota's loss as well as America's. Godspeed, sir. Utmost respect and love to you, N. California resident. 💙💔🇺🇸

Governor, my heart goes out to the victims and their families - the entire state of Minnesota. 💔

I am terrified for you and your family's safety also. Please stay safe. 💙

🫶💞

Terrible and tragic Has FOX already blamed Biden and called the victims character actors?

I have watched a few segments of fox entertainment. AND they are indeed blaming democrats for democrats being shot .They named Steve Scalis case several times but never mentioned Gabby Gifford who was much closer to losing her life.

It would figure

My sincerest condolences, Sir, on the loss of your dear friend and colleague. Thank you for your leadership during these terrible times.

💔💔💔

#RepublicansAreTheEnemy MAGA = TERRORISTS

So the lesson is when someone knocks at your door claiming to be a cop in this day and age you get your gun before you answer. Lovely

Or don't answer and have your gun handy. My husband and I can each be armed.

My heart aches for you and all of your citizens.

Thank you, Governor.

Two Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota were shot. Who is engaged in violence???

Exactly. Over a week of protests in LA and others and everyone still alive. They are lying, as usual.

I am so sorry. This is incredibly devastating.

Decency has had enough. We are no longer here to compromise law, morality, facts, science, or our Republic. E pluribus unum.

💔 sending hope and love to the families and communities.

Look for a Republican MAGA Terrorist. He’s your shooter.

Or an actual cop.

Minnesota MAGA terrorist, Vance Boelter, has accomplices.He was having financial difficulties at the time of the shootings.He is an ardent Trump supporter according to friends.Trump said Sen Padilla looks like an "illegal". What would Trump say he looks like? www.thedailybeast.com/wife-of-minn...

This is the severity of the Division he sewed in our society. How will we protect our lawmakers and judges from this monster in the Oval Office?

Another MN State Rep and his wife also seriously shot. In hospital, recovering. I hope they both pull through.

Thankfully, evening news states the second couple is expected to recover.

Its terrorism. The shooter was a terrorist.

Hearts go out to the families of those dead. Dead in the line of duty. Sorry for your loss of your friends and colleagues, and the injury to the community sense of safety and security.

Grievous… 💔🕊

💔💔💔😭😭😭💪🏾💪🏽💪🏼

You should instruct your police to detain any and all "agents" until they can prove they are in fact agents.

And be careful!

Exactly.

Please be careful, Governor Walz, WE need you!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

COINCIDENCE I THINK NOT ...THIS WAS TRUMP FOLLOWING MEIN KAMPFE 2 THE LETTER IT WAS A MESSAGE SENT TO ALL DEM GOVERNORS YOUR NEXT I CAN REACH YOU I HAVE POLICE & MILLITARY & THE COURTS ( SUPREME COURT ATLEAST) JUST LIKE HITLER DID WTFU AMERICA HE WILL COME 4 U EVENTUALLY LIKE HITLER DID NO ONES SAFE

Dear people of Minnesota, I am so sorry. So many Americans and fellow human beings are grieving for you and with you. The horror is resounding; it's hard to put down. I am in tears. I hope this is the real undoing of Donald Trump. This vileness must stop.

Does not seem promising. Checked fox entertainment and of course they blamed democrats for democrats being shot .They named Steve Scalices case several times but never mentioned Gabby Giffords who was much closer to Not regaining her health.

I don't give a fuck about Fox News or what it says. Bluesky, even the sane people on Facebook, and other social media will get this story out.

It is important to keep tabs on the crap that fox entertainment is feeding our family members, our friends, our neighbors and our coworkers.

This group of liars should have been taken off the air years ago.

Agreed, but they are still on the air even after they lied about a election and it led to a insurrection attempt. Now they are attempting to install a Dictatorship.

Rupert Murdoch is loooong overdue for his dirt nap.

perhaps. but at this point, I'd rather keep my energy on fighting for justice and sanity than worrying what maga thinks

Same. This is so, so horrific,

omg. the tears popped right out. i couldn't believe it. sad. but more angry.

Exactly

Yes. So much hatred goes along with trump. He fosters it many times a day.

yes he does, doesn't he? fostering it throughout the day. good point.

Canadians stand with you and grieve with you.

Magat scumbags

There will be an incident when masked ICE goons are taken out attempting to breakdown a door in a Stand Your Ground state. MAGAts aren't the only group with firearms.

Can’t come soon enough

Nice. Nice to see they recognize it. Why would anyone post that on their stage?

They have no shame

This is what happens when the gvt allows police and ice to run around with masks and no ids. Nobody knows if they are real or not. When is this going to stop?????

We have to get rid of Miller, Homan, ICE Barbie, Johnson and tRumpf. Until we do that we are banging our heads on the wall.

I am so sorry.

Be careful Tim. The ONLY ones that get away after shooting at Cops, are usually complicit with the “brotherhood”. Because, you know.

Melissa serves our district - we love her. The violence & rhetoric has got to stop. Thank you for all you do, Governor. ❤️ from a constituent

Have to charge him with murder under Minnesota Law. If the feds charge him then The Orange Turd may just pardon the guy.

Devastated by the loss of Mellissa Hoffman All who serve in government need protective detail at their home. Legislation must be passed to protect the residential addresses of lawmakers and judges.

Great! Another White homegrown terrorist....

This bullshit needs to stop, NOW. What an incredibly incredibly sad day for democracy, not just for the U.S.A.

Horrifying. My condolences to you and your state.

They found his manifesto with a bunch of names on it. Bet this coward talked about what he was going to do in some discord or 4chan type channel with the rest of the scum #FightFireWithFire

It seems like a very dangerous situation. Please exercise caution while deploying every asset available to apprehend this assassin. They must be brought to justice.

They are called political assassinations.

🙏🏽

Russian style politics. Take your opponents out. Sad days in this nation. Absolutely unbelievable. This reads like an assassination more than a maga cult going off the rails.

This is sad, but if "officers" can wear basically anything and throw on a vest or teeshirt that says: police, ice etc, which can be bought online, then you don't know who you are talking too. scary. Can't trust any law enforcement unless they are in full uniform.🌵

Horrific!!! Sending heartfelt prayers to all affected by these tragedies!

I’m so sorry

One of the most important roles of the President of the United States is to BRING PEOPLE TOGETHER, TO CALM EMOTIONS IN TIMES OF TROUBLE. This President thrives on the opposite - his desire is to tear the people, and the COuntry apart. At a time like this, where are his calming words? Crickets!

Condolences to you sir and their families. This violence must stop. Please keep Us updated on Sen Hoffman and his family.

How can we trust you police officers any longer, thanks to all the recent fascist terrorism! Who will keep we, the people safe?

Why don't you look in the white house or the terrorists who are obviously responsible for this? We must fight back!

M Johnson said G Newsome should be “tarred & feathered” Noem, who is managed by her dilapidated warehouse of a brain, “We are staying here to liberate this city from the socialist & burdensome leadership that this Governor Newsom” These ppl are a fast spreading malignant cancer with consequences.

Exactly. I totally get why Padilla was trying to speak up. If you listen to what she was spewing you know why he was compelled to speak.

They’re too fucking stupid to realise that words have meaning & sound bite & will be interpreted literally by some They’ll wash their hands of this Honestly it’s like a group of the dumbest f**king high school drop outs have been assembled by a reality tv star & cut loose to win “Americas Clown”.

Prayers from Tennessee 🙏🏼

Stay safe!

Minnesota lawmaker assassinated, another in grave condition in 'targeted political violence' - ABC News share.google/cqfMjQq3fOQ4...

Governor, so sorry for the loss of your lawmakers and to the people of Minnesota.

Will @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy report this story???

Probably not.

Fox? Bawhahaha they will never do

This is just sickening. My heart goes out to all involved

Prayers for safety for you all there. I'm so sorry 😞

💔😪💔😪🙏🙏🙏🙏

How are the victims doing?

Two are dead

Dead

I just read only one and her husband.

One couple may survive. One couple was dead.

Thank you...I'm not religious but my prayers are with them. Sounds like a contradiction but you know what I mean.

The governor said both in the video.

It was stated that the senator and his wife were operated on and they are cautiously optimistic that they will recover.

Cautiously optimistic is better than none.

The last I heard it was the one female lawmaker and her husband are gone. The other two were in surgery/recovering, hopefully.

Please mention cops? across the nation with no identification wearing masks grabbing people up. How do we know who’s who?

Then there was the woman who was sexually assaulted by one of them in masks.

Correct. No clue as to who they were. There were proud boys in the crowd in LA, don't know what they were doing but they posed for a pic together with big grins on their faces. We know what they're capable of.

MAGA violence. The United States terrorists.

My heart goes out to you, the families impacted and all of the people in the state of Minnisota. This should never happen in the "United" States. Stay strong.

Melissa Hortman and her husband RIP 🕯️

I can't believe this is where we are now. I am frightened for our future.

That is exactly what the terrorists want, you frightened. Bravery is taking action even though you are frightened. Be brave .

💔💔💔

My heartfelt condolences

Awful! Deepest condolences & strength to the victims' families & to u Gov. Walz & the people of MN.💜

Horrific. He must be found.

Political Murder.

Horrible news. 😞

I’m so sorry, Tim

Sadly, trump has summoned his foot soldiers to run amuck across America again & target lawmakers as he did on J6 - he is a vile, vindictive 79 yr old man bent on destroying this country using the military, GOP & ignorant taxpayers to further his revenge tour! God save our country from complete ruin!

Please be vigilant in your own safety as well. Minnesota needs you. We love you. Thank you for all you do.

So sorry to hear this. #GodBlessAmerica

Horrific. We can't let fear silence us. Show up, stay safe.

I know you are busy, but would an LPR reading of an impersonation police car would or should raise an alert? If not, then I think if possible going forward to have the license plates of law enforcement cars be crossed checked by these systems.

They have his 'cop' car.

Yes . The killer left it behind. Now they have all the evidence including his name.

Also, if their LPR scanned license plate and crossed checked if was a legitimate cop car , perhaps this incident could of been mitigated before this horrific incident happened.

I am saddened to hear the news that they died. I was praying they would pull through. This makes me so sick to my stomach. I hope you all find the person(s) who committed this horrific crime & hold them to the fullest extent of the law. Sending my thoughts and prayers to everyone. ☮️🕊️💜

Prosecute, convict & … the murder, Trump, MAGA, Noem, Holman, Rubio, Vance, Hegseth, Mike Johnson they are all responsible for this this. The murdered & victims blood is on all their hands. Do not, repeat do not let this story get buried it has to to become major news. Make the media do their job.

Yes!

Sending ❤️ from Canada 🇨🇦 to Minnesota.

Golly, Tim....guess when we just roll over for this bullshit it only gets worse.

Exactly

We are all very sorry for the loss of your friend.

My heart goes out to the families of those attacked and to those in Minnesota who value life and the rule of law. I pray those who were injured survive.

I hate these Trump-lovers. Damn them

Are we great again, yet? /s

Minnesota. ❤️😭

I am pretty sure that these thugs were motivated to this by you know who. MAGA has no place in this country

Please peaceful protesters everywhere today.... stay safe!!! We have a real uphill battle in this country!!! We all need to protest now more than ever!!!

Governor, I will always regret you are not our vp. The professionalism and the compassion you are showing is why. My heart goes out to all involved

This is so terrible.

RIP Rep. Hortman and her husband. This is a very sad day.

The Fanta-tinged Führer has unleashed domestic terrorism. 🤬

This is why people of authority SHOULD NOT WEAR MASKS!

Find that MFer who did this.

💔💔

Sir, please, run for president in 2028. Run not for prestige but because our country needs to heal from all this trauma we've been forced to endure. Be the healing president we desperately need. 🕊️

Yes

💔

This is MAGA America, Democrats are the target.

I am so sorry, Tim.

I heard the pain in your voice. Good people are feeling that pain with you.

I did too, he was about to cry. Then comes the fear for your family and yourself and any else that may be on their list.

Be safe everyone. 🇨🇦 💔 for these families.

🙏🏼❣️🙏🏼❣️

Beyond horrifying — who will stand up on the right to condemn these political assassinations in Minnesota?

Not a soul. I look forward to hearing one.

I am so sorry for your loss. 😢💔

This is 99.9999% on trump Mask = CRIMINAL DEATH TO TYRANTS DEATH TO FASCISTS NO KINGS IN US ... EVER

Such a tragedy. This is where we are now. My heart is breaking for all the families, all those in Minnesota and for democracy in general.

So now democrats are shooting other democrats. Way to go Timmy.

This is the logical conclusion of dehumanizing political opponents, glorifying violence, pardoning J6, and using the military to quash dissent D’s are Evil Pedophiles Enemies from Within Vermin Garbage Radical Left Lunatics Hate Our Country Un-American Treasonous May their memories be a blessing 🙏

Perspectives on Terrorism Donald Trump: Aggressive Rhetoric and Political Violence pt.icct.nl/article/dona...

Yup

My heart breaks for MN. 💔

This is horrifying, and must be laid directly at F47 and his regime’s door.

Absolutely sickening. Targeted, I have no doubt, by maga a terrorist group. It’s seeming like a warning shot to you Governor Walz and it’s terrifying. Stay safe💙

Condolences to the families of the victims and to the people of Minnesota. My prayers are with all of you! Stay safe Governor!

I’m so sad for their families and our state today. May the victims rest in peace and may Senator Hoffman and his wife have full recoveries.

😔🙏

This is just terrible!

Thank you

As true now, as ever! Thank you! 💙

Zero chance it wasn't a MAGA who committed these crimes.

Trump must be held accountable. You know who gave the orders

can Democrats take the gloves off yet Governor?

I’m so sorry, Governor. We stand by you. ♥️

So when will it suffice to say that, in service of Trumpian fascism, the police are murdering democratic politicians?
