Trump, Tim Walz and Minnesota
Digest more
President Donald Trump said overnight that calling Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz after a political assassination sent shockwaves through the state would be a "waste of time."
Hours after the shooting of two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses, prominent conservative influencers spun unsubstantiated theories that the suspect was a left-wing extremist who targeted the Democratic-aligned leaders for voting against party lines, and did so with the blessing of the state’s top Democrat, Gov. Tim Walz.
Several MAGA members have called out the state's Democratic leader over his previous appointment of the suspect to the governor's workforce development board.
Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed, and state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife were wounded in politically motivated shootings early Saturday, Gov. Tim Walz said. Authorities have also identified a suspect who is still at large.
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz implored “leading with grace and compassion” after a madman with a kill list targeted a pair of lawmakers and their spouses in his state — a different tune from two weeks prior, when he urged his fellow Dems to “be a little meaner” and “bully the s–t” out of people like President Trump.
