Melissa Hortman, her husband and their dog were assassinated, and State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife were badly wounded. Both lawmakers are/were members of the DFL, the Democratic party in Minnesota.

So around 10 months ago, not 3. The timing threw me off.

John Hoffman and his wife were shot and wounded same day. All Democrats so MAGA don't care enough to remember it.

When the victim is a republican not only is Fox blasting it out 24/7 but so are all the other media outlets.

The Melissa Hortman (and her husband and dog) murder story was a blip on the news. This was an actual politically motivated assassination. AND the same man shot another Dem rep John Hoffman 9 times and his wife 8 times... they survived. This should've been a massive story. Did trump call for the death penalty for him?

(IMO) Had they been republicans it would've been maximized on Fox and every R representative would be on every channel twisting the story to somehow blame the Dems.

Killing people used to be big news.
