Donald Trump has been targeting Democratic Gov. Tim Walz. In his latest attack on Truth Social, he shared a bizarre conspiracy theory about the assassination of Minnesota Democratic state Rep. Melissa Hortman last summer. Trump likes to stir shit up, no matter who it hurts.
Hortman (her last name was misspelled in the video clip Trump promoted) was killed along with her husband, Mark Hortman, and their dog. The accused shooter was also charged with the nonfatal shootings of state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, on the same night.
Now, while Trump is responsible for the deaths of at least 40 people who were killed in the U.S. attack on Venezuela early Saturday, including military personnel and civilians, he is accusing Walz of murder. I didn't bother to add the video clip here because I started watching it, and it sucked IQ points out of my head. And we care about you!
Walz responded to the post that MeidasTouch called "objectively evil."
Dangerous, depraved behavior from the sitting president of the United States. In covering for an actual serial killer, he is going to get more innocent people killed.
America is better than this. https://t.co/sgkP0jwNn2— Tim Walz (@Tim_Walz) January 4, 2026
Rep. Betty McCollum called on Republicans to condemn Trump's "cruel lie."
Trump is degrading the Office of the President by engaging in an outrageous lie. He is once again attacking Governor Walz and the State of Minnesota for his own benefit.
Minnesotans will not be divided by Trump’s twisted attacks on our Governor and our State.
Trump should… https://t.co/GZTPxi1Cms— Rep. Betty McCollum (@BettyMcCollum04) January 4, 2026
Senate Majority Leader Erin Murphy called Trump's post “soulless.”

This response from a Trump supporter is the reason MAGA needs to die.

Vance Boelter, the accused assassin, who had a hit list of Democrats to target, was a supporter of Donald Trump who voted for him in the 2024 Republican presidential primary. Since every narcissist's accusation is a confession, where was Trump when the Hortmans were slaughtered?
