As if a montage of the Neo-GOP members using such colorful rhetoric doesn't exist! I don't think either side has ever had as more callus leader.
"In response to the murder of Hortman, Trump
offered a brief, impersonal condemnation of her killing on Truth Social, stating that “such horrific violence will not be tolerated.” He didn’t do much else. He did not offer a substantial eulogy for her, or deliver an address on political violence, as he did after Kirk’s death. Unlike former President Joe Biden, Trump did not attend the funeral. The day after Hortman’s killing, when Trump was asked if he had called Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, he said, “I could be nice and call, but why waste time?” Trump suggested that part of the reason he didn’t want to call Walz was because he thought Walz was to blame for the killing, or at least the events leading up to it.
That claim was nonsense. But peddling that narrative did allow Trump to divert attention from the fact that authorities found the suspected shooter had a
hit list that named mostly Democratic politicians or figures tied to abortion rights"
Why Trump’s different responses to Charlie Kirk and Melissa Hortman's assassinations matter.
