The First Lady of the Night really kicked up a s&itstorm over her faux anger over
#JimmyKimmel's joke. We all remember just how uncivilized her employer really is and how despicable the GOP can be when tragedy strikes other Americans. We won't forget.
#BlueWaveComing adios!
Never forget what happened on June 14, 2025.
Early that morning, a gunman named Vance Luther Boelter (57) disguised himself as a police officer — complete with a silicone mask, wig, and a vehicle made to look like a squad car. He went to the home of Melissa Hortman, the Democratic Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives, in Brooklyn Park.
He killed Melissa Hortman (55) and her husband Mark Hortman (58) inside their home. Their golden retriever, Gilbert, was also shot and so badly wounded that he had to be euthanized.
In the same targeted attack that night, Boelter also shot Democratic State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette at their nearby home (both survived).
Hours after the murders, Republican Senator Mike Lee of Utah posted on X:
“Nightmare on Walz Street” (mocking Minnesota Governor Tim Walz)
“This is what happens when Marxists don’t get their way”
He later deleted the posts after widespread backlash.
On June 27, the bodies of Melissa and Mark Hortman lay in state at the Minnesota Capitol — accompanied by a photo of their dog Gilbert. It was a somber local memorial. Nationally, there was no half-staff flag order on federal buildings and no unified moment of mourning on the scale we’ve seen for others.
This wasn’t just a “bad joke.”
It was a U.S. Senator publicly mocking the assassination of a fellow elected official, her husband, and their family dog.
Political differences are normal.
But when we reach the point of laughing at political assassinations, we have gone somewhere very dark.
We can disagree on policy.
We should never lose our basic humanity.
