Melissa Hortman was rated a big, fat, zero by the NRA, for many good reasons. She was no friend to sportsman or gun owners. Embarrassingly, she was the House leader of a trifecta of Minnesota democrat leadership that saw the evaporation of an $18 billion surplus (that is billion with a b) that ran through their nasty little fingers in less than one year. We have a serious shortfall looming. Little to nothing of the surplus was returned to taxpayers. This, combined with the fact that school test scores in the state declined 20% in both math and reading during her tenure.

Charlie Kirk asked people to debate him. He was clear, kind, and made it perfectly obvious that his soul belonged to Jesus.

Melissa Hortman helped to destroy the fabric of society in Minnesota. If Tylor Robinson had been arrested in Minneapolis, there is a good chance “Bloody Mary” Moriarity would have released him with cashless bail to his own recognizance.

While I would have much preferred her electorate waking up to her lousy legislative performance, and finding somebody else to vote for, nobody who hunts or owns a gun, or possesses more common sense than a new born turkey poult, should miss Melissa Hortman.


Best,

Call me old fashioned, Ted, while I believe murder is murder, apparently, it is only murder if it is a political compatriot for you. I guess you are the New Age guy. And you comments about what Hortman would (NEVER) have done, are pretty despicable, but totally in keeping with the kind of person you are. Minnesota's fabric is pretty undestroyed. What an absolutely dumb thing to say.

Are you being purposely obtuse Brent? A state legislator of a middling state like MN, just isn't on the same level of celebrity and fame as someone like Charlie Kirk. For all intents and purposes nobody outside the state knew anything about her. Its the same kind of difference as between a morning DJ and Brad Pitt.
