A Minnesota Republican state senator is urging her fellow conservatives to stop peddling unhinged conspiracy theories that connect the assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman to the fraud scandal currently rocking the state.
“I am a Minnesota Republican legislator. I never agreed with Melissa. Not once. But I’m begging people to stop sharing this conspiracy theory,” State Sen. Julia Coleman tweeted in response to actor, producer and socialite Sara Foster, who declared Hortman’s death was “connected” to the controversy. Foster, the daughter of media mogul David Foster, recently served as the co-head of creative of Bumble and co-produced the Netflix hit Nobody Wants This with her sister Erin Foster.
