Jon Stewart joined Senator Tina Smith in tearing into MAGA Republican Mike Lee over his response to the shootings in Minnesota this weekend, which left state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband dead and state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife in the hospital.
Suspect Vance Boelter was arrested on Sunday and charged with murder after the largest manhunt in Minnesota history. Still, the tragedy was mocked by Utah GOP Senator Lee, who posted pictures of the gunman on X with the captions, “This is what happens when Marxists don’t get their way” and “Nightmare on Waltz Street,” the latter a misspelled partisan attack on Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.
