The horrific assassination that stole Melissa Hortman, husband Mark: Political Hatred and Violence Lose Election in Minnesota Special Election

[Dante]

The horrific assassination that stole Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark? It set up a special election to refill the seat of State Rep. Melissa Hortman(D), of Brooklyn Park, Minnesota.

"The motive: Investigators believe the attack was a politically motivated assassination. The suspect's car contained a "hit list" of about 70 names, including lawmakers and abortion providers."

Political Hatred and Violence Lost The Election in Minnesota's Special Election. Balance has been restored. The assassin wanted to change things. In that regard, he failed.

In an indication of the national interest in the race, Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin said Lee’s “commitment to expanding access to education, affordable health care, and good-paying jobs honors the legacy” of Hortman.

For obvious reasons there was and is national attention being paid to this election. I believe both Democrats and Republicans in Minnesota put their best foots forward, maybe leading the way for how American citizens can take control and push back those who would spread fear, hatred, and divisions in American politics and society.

“Across Minnesota, our hearts are still broken by the horrific assassination that stole Melissa and her husband Mark,” Martin, who formerly chaired the state Democratic Party, said in a statement. “Political violence is a scourge that has taken far too many lives. Enough is enough. It must end now. And in every case, each of us has a responsibility to condemn and reject political violence wherever it rears its head.”

Both cases are equally horrific

Hartman was a far better human being than Kirk however

Which is why democrats have no place in society. Who are you to judge man then condemn him to death.

Another death from the Dimwinger Murder Cult.

Lie much?

I never condemned any to death

I noted that Hortman was a far better person

For most of USA's history, the stupid public has been in favor of legalized mass murder all over the world for the profits of the Rich man. Even now, USA President Trump is trying bomb Russia for "peace" {Armageddon like Ariel Sharon declared, "We are going to start WW3 and you can do nothing about it."

And later on, He, in a pure Samsonite complex, said, "If we go down, we have the capacity to take the whole world with us."

Ah but the right wing mind set is that if you do not agree one hundred percent on their nonsense, you are attacking them.

She was a far better person because she was killed by a Democrat for voting with the Republicans and against Tim Walz? Is that what you are saying?

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

The same kind that kills people in boats in the dark of the night.

There were no people on those boats, just narco-terrorists.
