'We don't care': Fox host downplays murder of Democratic lawmaker in profane meltdown - Alternet via MSN

During the Monday episode of Fox News' "The Five," co-host Greg Gutfeld was arguing that the increase in political violence was one-sided, when liberal co-panelist Jessica Tarlov asked him about the murder of former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman (D), who was murdered along with her husband Mark in June. The alleged murderer also shot Minnesota state senator Jon Hoffman (D) and his wife, Yvette — though they survived – and had a "hit list" of 45 other political leaders, all of whom were Democrats. Sen. Hoffman was shot nine times, while his wife was shot eight times.

"You want to talk about Melissa Hortman? Did you know her name before it happened? None of us did," he said. "None of us were spending every single day talking about Mrs. Hortman. I never heard of her until after she died!"

"So she doesn't matter?" Tarlov asked.

"Don't play that bulls--- with me," Gutfeld said after a pause. "You know what I'm saying is, there was no demonization, amplification of that woman before she died. It was a specific crime against her by someone who knew her."

Right, asshole. He knew the Hortmans, Minnesota state senator Jon Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, and 45 OTHER DEMOCRATS?? Go FUCK yourself, Gutfeld.

2. The thing is that hers was the political assassination

His was an RW podcaster’s murder.
I am against all killing but let’s at least be accurate.

3. To MAGA he was apparently some kind of demigod, I'd imagine.

Some on the so-called "Christian" right have had worse to say of Christ, Himself... that He was "too woke."

Helluva thing when you think of it.

All their furor over a person who preached so much bigotry and HATE....

...should be an EYE OPENER for the rest of us, I think.

Granted that I, who live in Colorado, did not know her name, a whole heck of a lot of people in Minnesota knew it.

but she was a prominent local politician.
