A Republican Senator has drawn ire for making jokes about the Minnesota assassination which killed a top state Democratic legislator and her husband, then posting the jokes to social media.
Utah Senator Mike Lee received backlash from social media users after baselessly claiming that the man who murdered Minnesota Democratic State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband John on Sunday was a member of the radical left. In reality, suspect Vance Boetler's former roommate told the Wall Street Journal that Boetler actually voted for Trump and was a registered Republican.
"This is what happens When Marxists don't get their way," Lee said on X (formerly Twitter), accompanied by an image of Boetler armed while wearing a face mask.
