"I must say, I have been baffled over the past several days by people like Stephen Miller talking about this being a one-sided issue when just a few months ago the most powerful Democrat in the state of Minnesota was gunned down in her family's home, Scarborough said, noting that Hortman's husband was also murdered in the June shooting spree."
"Or maybe we should talk that same night about the madman who had a hit list of 42 Democrats on it, who then went over and shot nine times, the state senator that Melissa Hortman worked with, Scarborough continued. [Minnesota State Senator] John Hoffman, took nine shots to his body. His wife, Yvette, took eight shots to her body inside their family home."
President Trump was pressed about not ordering flags at half-staff for Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman, who was shot dead in her home alongside her husband and dog in June; Trump said he was not familiar with her case. The president's remarks were contrasted with a recent tribute to conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Questions arose about why Republicans continue to blame political violence solely on the left despite a mounting list of attacks against Democrats. A detailed catalogue followed, recounting Hortman's murder, a hit list targeting 42 Democrats, the shooting of Minnesota State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette, and an attempted arson at Governor Josh Shapiro's home in April.
