REMINDER: While people try to paint a picture of Charlie Kirk being some "civil rights leader" and a really great guy, he was not.
He argued AGAINST free school lunch for kids. He didn't deserve to be killed, but he was an asshole.
Melissa Hortman was the 61st Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives.
She was assassinated by a right-wing nutjob who felt God compelled him to kill liberals.
THAT was a political assassination.

The sad fact is, if Tyler Robinson had used his gun to massacre students at Utah Valley University instead of just fatally shooting Charlie Kirk Republicans wouldn't care this much.
So much disinformation on this site tonight in the wake of the horrific Kirk murder, with conservatives cynically suggesting that all of the political violence in this country comes from the left.
In fact it’s the opposite. Here are the facts for those with short memories:
The man who targeted and killed Democratic state Rep Melissa Hortman was a Trump supporter.
The man who targeted the home of Dem Governor Josh Shapiro was a Trump supporter.
The men who wanted to hang Mike Pence on Jan 6th were Trump supporters.
The man who targeted and killed the son of Obama-appointed District Judge Esther Salas was a Trump supporter.
The man who tried to kidnap Nancy Pelosi and assaulted her husband was a Trump supporter.
The men who were convicted trying to kidnap Dem Governor Gretchen Whitmer were Trump supporters.
The man who sent pipe bombs to the homes of Obama and Biden was a Trump supporter.
There is no equivalent or even similar list of Obama or Biden supporters who have carried out similar murders, attempted murders, or violent attacks.
Authorities are asking residents in 3 counties to secure their properties. They were able to gather new information from executed search warrants, including electronic devices. Very curious about what was found.
The sheriff’s office is urging citizens who own cabins or reside in remote areas of Chelan, Kittitas, King, Snohomish, and Okanogan counties to be aware that Travis Decker remains missing. It should go without saying that he is dangerous and should not be approached. #wenatchee #washington #manhunt
