Hortman joined Republicans as the lone Democratic vote in support of a provision preventing adult undocumented migrants from accessing the state’s low-income health insurance system.
Hortman defended her vote as part of a larger compromise to pass a budget in the narrowly divided chamber.
“I did what leaders do, I stepped up and I got the job done for the people of Minnesota,” she said.
Hortman was killed four days later.
The only principled liberal. She said people don’t need healthcare and then she died.
I’m highly doubting that the motivation of the shooter was that he supported free healthcare. The suspected shooter worked for private security, had US military ties, and owned a cop car.
I don’t mean that. To me he’s chud-coded. I just mean that I’m happy she’s dead for that reason.
I am clarifying because right wing twitter have declared the shooter to be a left wing radical. I’m suspecting right wingers will create conspiracy theories similar to the David DePape situation, where they claimed that the attack was motivated by a lover’s quarrel.
Seems he also wanted to kill Ilhan Omar and a bunch of abortion rights activists. Seems the only kind of healthcare that was involved in his thinking was about preventing woman from access to it.
yeah ofc, but also
yeah he’s probably not even a luigi
We must reach across the aisle to heal the partisan divide that’s tearing this great nation apart
the aisle being the space between a barrel and the head of fascists and their collaborators
It’s so annoying being local to this news right now, because the liberals are UPSET and are revising history as if she was a saint.
Damn, that’s kind of ironic.
This person and her family can honestly go pound sand.
I’m glad they have to deal with death because of how much they support it.
I hope people send them lots of “fuck you, you deserved this” cards.
Of fucking course she was a ghoul, even among Dems. 0 sympathy now
well well well.
crab dance?
I’ve heard worse reasons
L M A O !
Dont do that Reddit-ass shit where you find something she did that crosses your principles and immediately ascribe that as the obvious motive.
I don’t care why she’s dead and doubt that is the reason. I’m just happy she is because she was killing everyone around her.
nothing in happy badger’s comment implies he think this is the reason she got shot, he’s just making fun of a ghoul dying
Don’t do that reddit ass shit where you bend over backwards to defend the lives of murderous ghouls who rob families of healthcare
crosses your principles
Yeah, denying people healthcare for the sake of political ambition, you know just a simple little everyday thing that crosses some people’s high bound principles, no big deal
Go fuck yourself chud
is that what’s going on in this post?
it’s unambiguously good that these freaks are dead, regardless of the killers motive

Wow CEO’s are just executing politicians now??
The Business Plot, except this time the CEOs are even worse at business and plots. Probably planned his psy-op with Chat-GPT.
What’s sad is, conservatives are so stupid they fell for it

Real Human Bean hours
Diehard Villain ass name

local witch covens please be more specific in your efforts to bring about a “Vance assassination”
👁️
The fliers in his car for the protest make this whole thing very sus
The pics looked like he just made one with a sharpie and then made photocopies on office paper. Totally hamfisted
I’m not saying this man did it, but “CEO of Praetorian Guard Security Services” is compelling.
This is the suspect that the police announced. He’s very fed-coded.
I think he’s also South African.Editing this comment because I can’t confirm that he was from South Africa. He was a member of “Minnesota Africans United”, a connection for the network of African immigrants in Minnesota.
We have to stop letting boers into the USA until we figure out what is going on.
Boer name
Worked in the Congo
Roman weeb
Yeah this mf did it
Praetorian Guard Security Services
sure, I’ll hire a security service named after the guys who famously kept assassinating the emperors they were supposed to guard
Also I just found a different Praetorian Guard (apparently several genius entrepreneurs had the same idea), and these motherfuckers even have a scorpion as their emblem! You know, the famously trustworthy scorpion (although maybe that particular fable’s not as famous in South Africa, I dunno, but still)
The world owes Dan Brown/Robert Ludlum an apology if reality itself is this ham fisted
make lawmakers afraid again

This guy went from being the highest manager at a 7/11 store to running a security company in the Congo. Fargo ass life.
What the fuck is a doctorate in leadership? No wonder the US has such an enormous research output, they give a Ph.D. with your happy meal
Maybe a bit nitpicky but an EdD is not a PhD
Nah thanks for mentioning it, I wasn’t privvy to it and now I know what kind of doctorate my old Uni’s department heads probably had
that’s a rather depressing resume and then CEO in Congo
What the hell happened to him in the congo
Great assassin name, ngl.
Wonder if he considered that
Luther Boelter
The one from Dark Angels? And his bolter?
