The Dem Minnesota state lawmaker who was assassinated by a crazed gunman in a rubber mask crossed party lines just days earlier and made a critical vote revoking health care coverage for illegal migrants.
Melissa Hortman, the state House Democratic leader, was the only member of her party to side with Republicans and vote to repeal taxpayer-funded healthcare coverage for adult illegal immigrants as part of this year’s budget bill.
She and her husband were gunned down on Saturday in Brooklyn Park just outside of Minneapolis, shortly after the same assassin is believed to have gravely wounded Democratic state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette.

The left lost the voters.
They're losing control of the ballot box.
They have no message, no leadership, and their media pawns lost their influence.
They have nothing left but extreme raw violence to force their agenda on the rest of us.
This was more than a murder. It was a message to the others to obey or risk death.

Have to wonder who will be the next representative for the district. Will it be a lefty that marches lock step with the left? From that perspective, the shooter is successful. They removed someone opposed to their agenda and replaced them with someone that supports it.

Democrats kill those who don't obey. They call that religious freedom.

I have to agree with previous posters. The term 'useful idiots' isn't just a slogan, it's what they do when the usefulness is over. Co lateral damage in the push to 'the left'.

The vicious, violent, anti-American leftists cannot abide anyone not supporting their pro-illegal insanity. Change your opinion, and they will try to kill you....and sometimes succeed.
The left is always violent, they cannot persuade, so they go to violence.

Based on the article, there is no coincidence. Pulverize the murderer on sight.

What's the difference between the religion of peace and the modern democrat party? Nothing, absolutely nothing!

I recall the Lamestreams all applauding Senator McCain every time he 'crossed the aisle' and voted with the 'Rats to kill something that President GW Bush was trying to do. Perhaps the most well known is when McCain cast the deciding vote -and he milked it for everything it was worth- to kill the ObamaCare repeal bill.
Now we see what happens when a Democ'RAT crosses the aisle to vote with the Republicans.
As #1 says..... it's a message to the rest of the 'Rats.... don't you DARE put a Toe off the 'Rat Plantation!

The last sentence from Poster #1 pretty much says it all. The 'Rats have nothing left but insane violence.

It looks like the Dems are eating their own. Better tow the party line or else. Glad I'm not a Democrat.

Just think Chrissy Walton is part of these "No Kings" rallies. So there is a shooter in Utah and a shooter in Minnesota and we should believe that these are all peaceful rallies? When Obama became the presidential candidate in 2008, it is the first time I heard of community organizers. I firmly believe we have more than just community organizers. In addition, we have groomers and influencers. They all seem to be going off the deep end.

Melissa was the state Speaker of the House in 2003 which began the year with a huge surplus. Under her steering and Walz's strong support, she and the Dems proudly passed their first legislative bill to make abortion codified without any restrictions in the state. The Dems were/are all very proud of this. She also presided over spending the surplus on ridiculous items such as free school lunches for EVERYONE regardless of income, and adopting a new and absurd state flag without letting the citizens vote on it, and providing free health care and drivers licenses to illegals. Very little of the surplus money was returned to the taxpayers. This year the legislature faced a looming budget deficit because of this outrageous spending spree. The state constitution requires a balanced budget. Melissa was not the Speaker this year. In the state house is an equal number of Dems and Republicans. She decided to make "the sacrifice" in the name of compromise to rescind the free health care for illegal adults but keep it for those 18 and under. She may have been a nice person, but she was not a champion of Christian values.

Apparently the penalty for voting against the liberal Democrat party line is death. Not surprising given how unhinged the liberal left has become.

I always try to step back from a situation and apply reason and political posturing....this killing was well planned and carried out...so it's been in the planning stages for some time...I'm thinking....the accused worked for governor waltz...so he had prior knowledge what the vote would be....which explains his prompt action after the vote...was this attempt to force democrats into lock step with crazy governor waltz...and his plan for china's socialism in Minnesota.....

Perhaps it's time to declare the Democrat Party a domestic terrorist organization. Everything they say and do stirs up violence, and of course, the Dumpster Media is quick to make excuses for their behavior.
