1. When Republicans tell you that [they’re domestic terrorists](https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/cpac-banner-domestic-terrorists/), believe them.

2. They were assassinated. Use the correct words.

3. Two Democratic Lawmakers* party affiliation is a crucial aspect of this politically motivated assassination and act of domestic terrorism.

4. Yes let’s call it for what it is. It was an assassination. I’m sick of these news articles downplaying it.

5. one was assassinated by domestic terrorist(s)

6. “Two Democratic elected officials in Minnesota have been victims of a targeted assassination attempt by a MAGA terrorist”*

   *Likely one of the pardoned January 6th terrorists

7. Walz called it an assassination. Good.

8. NY Times front page headline gets it right:

   Minnesota lawmaker assassinated in act of “targeted political violence”

   And there’s a manifesto:

   “Chief Mark Bruley of the Brooklyn Park Police said the gunman’s vehicle contained a “manifesto” and a target list with names of individuals, including the two lawmakers who were shot.”

10. The fucking military parade is going to look even worse. Holding an ego stroking “show of force” the day two lawmakers were assassinated is fucking absurd

11. Domestic Terrorist, dressed as police officer, assassinated Democrat Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband. As well as attempted to assassinate Democrat Sen. John Hoffman and his wife.

    Please, let’s not downplay any of this. So far I’ve seen Tim Walz call it an assassination, good for him.

12. It’s absolutely fascinating how few news outlets are calling this an assassination.

14. A 22-year-old former landscaper and grocery store worker with minimal national security experience is leading the DHS office charged with preventing domestic terrorism and targeted violence. He did help out Trump’s campaign though. Democrats should maybe bring that up?

15. For those of you going to a No Kings protest today: Don’t let this sway you the other way.

    To quote Tim Walz: “Fascists thrive on fear.”

    Be there. Be peaceful. Be vigilant.

16. This case is crazy I just saw the press conference. So, after police found the first couple shot (politician and their spouse), an officer on the scene wanted to send other officers to a politician that lived nearby. As the officers arrived at the second location, a “police officer” was leaving the house. When the officers confronted the “officer” leaving the house, the suspect then immediately began firing at them and retreated back into the house. At some point, the suspect escaped the house through the back of the house, and is currently still at large. The police have formed a perimeter and are searching for the suspect.

    The suspect was dressed in a complete uniform of a law enforcement officer, with a black tactical vest, taser, weapon (obviously), etc. The suspect also had a SUV that looked identical to a police vehicle, including having lights. A “manifest” was found in the vehicle, with names of other politicians.

    In California ICE and other individuals claiming to be law enforcement officers, do not wear any identifying uniforms or badges, are often masked, and do not present badges before handcuffing and taking people away. A major concern in California, is someone perpetrating being an officer and just simply kidnaps someone, with their face covered, no identifying clothing or badges, pretending to be a LEO.

17. That fox 9 reporter broke me. You can tell how good of a person she is when a reporter can’t keep it together.

    Also Pat (R) was crying and just saying how great she was. This is horrific for all kinds of reasons but most of all we lost a genuinely good person.

18. Remember when someone tried to do this to Nancy Pelosi with a hammer, and wound up attacking her husband instead, Junior’s response was to laugh about it.

19. Please change the title to them being assassinated. We can’t minimize this in any way

20. Who wants to place bets that Trump will pardon the murderer?

21. What are the odds it’s a pardoned Jan 6th-er.

22. Has dear leader denounced this yet?

23. [https://www.reuters.com/world/us/fbi-scales-back-staffing-tracking-domestic-terrorism-probes-sources-say-2025-03-21/](https://www.reuters.com/world/us/fbi-scales-back-staffing-tracking-domestic-terrorism-probes-sources-say-2025-03-21/)

    Kash needs to be removed from his job.

    Not a peep from Trump’s fat ass. Still rambling about his stupid birthday party parade though

24. Four shot, two dead

25. Assassinated, not shot. Call it what it is.

26. The narrative of “the violent radical leftist Democrats” will not budge an inch.  This assassination will be a complete non-starter in the minds of anyone one the right. I quarantee it. 

27. That is assassination.

28. I hadn’t read this bit before. Assuming that it’s not an actual cop it should be easier to find the assassin.

    >The suspect was dressed like a uniformed officer and operating a vehicle that “looked exactly like an SUV squad car. It was equipped with lights, emergency lights and looked exactly like a police vehicle,”

29. Wow, this is insanely sad and enraging.

30. I will never forgive trump voters. Never.

31. [Conservative sub blaming CNN, MSNBC and ABC for the radicalization of a right wing nut who likely never watched those stations. ](https://ibb.co/tp04LXfV) Absolutely insane cognitive dissonance.

32. i saw somewhere that the surviving lawmaker and his wife maybe have unaccounted for children?? has there been an update on that ?

33. Were assassinated by a domestic terrorist***

34. This is an assassination

35. Speaker Johnson just days ago called for the governor of California to be violently attacked.

36. They had an SUV car equipped with the proper emergency lighting and it looked exactly like a police vehicle…. Man wtf is going on.

37. This is what happened in Argentina. This is what happened in Brazil.

    Protest today, and make preparations to defend yourselves tomorrow.

38. This title should say assassinated.

39. “The suspect was dressed like a uniformed officer and operating a vehicle that “looked exactly like an SUV squad car. It was equipped with lights, emergency lights and looked exactly like a police vehicle,” Bruley said.”

    Uh huh. “Looked” exactly like or…? This looks really bad and if they don’t catch this person its going to look even worse.

40. That “We are all domestic terrorists” banner at CPAC was a threat, not a joke.

41. Kristi noem on thursday: “we must use deadly force to liberate states from politicians we dont agree with and their burdensome leadership”
