1. What is going on? Why these Reps?

2. “Assassinated”

   The word this headline is looking for is “assassinated”.

3. surely there will be a strong response across the board from republicans denouncing this violence

4. Trump’s already writing up the pardon.

5. It’s actually a life hack cops are so trained to lie and cover for their gang brothers that if you dress up like a cop they effectively can’t bring themselves to shoot you they’ll just instinctively throw a planted gun at the side of anyone you kill

   Resisting this urge for a cop is like keeping your hand in the box from Dune

6. This is so alarming!!

7. Terrorism, the word is terrorism.

8. Why these? Im not sure about that, but when every taterdick went into office, they started unaliving or disappearing their opponents. I wonder if one were to jump down this rabbit hole if they would find something these people had against the current regime in office, or they had something that would keep a loyalist out of office in that area.

9. Wild. I think other presidents would have cancelled a “parade” over such tragedies. Abhorrent.
   This shit makes me sick to my stomach! And marines arresting civilians?! Where are we? 😭 My heart goes out to everyone

10. Just more MAGA terrorism

11. Absolutely sickening. No place for violence from either side of the political aisle nor is this the time for assumptions of motive and baselessly calling out the other side. Hope this scumbag is found quickly and serves a very long time in prison.

12. It’s just the norm in garbage MAGA country.

13. MAGA is everything that they accuse the left of being. Assassinating people because their political views do not correspond to yours is reprehensible regardless of what those views are.

    Trump is probably going to make the shooter one of his Brownshirts.

14. 🤔Hmmm… who could it be that would be shooting up Democratic lawmakers on Trump’s Birthday?

    ANTIFA ? No, I don’t think so.

    PROUD BOYS? Good possibility there.

15. This may be the start of a civil war right here.

16. Trump and his rhetoric enabled this shit. Disgusting.

17. This is Trump and MAGA’s fault, 100%.

18. These two shootings give Republicans control of the Minnesota legislature.

19. Because the venue(outdoors) during inclement weather? That’s Mother Nature cancelling an outdoor event.

20. Was the shooter impersonating a police officer or was it a police officer?

21. It’s a good thing magas with balls are rarel
