Dark corners?!?

The president of the US celebrated the killing of State senator Hortman.

The fish rots at the head.

I think I missed this one (or lost in the flood of news). Got a link?

All I can find now is him pushing conspiracy theories about it.

Him actually celebrating would be the sort of thing that might convince some MAGA leaning folks I know to change their mind.

Not the person you are replying to, but I wanted to dig into this. I do not see any evidence that he celebrated this. He did decide to try and blame it Waltz though..

The guy who killed her claimed Tim Waltz put him up to it. It wasn’t found to be credible.

Melissa Hortman died less than a week after voting against her party to support something on Trumps agenda.

And? You're suggesting she was assassinated for voting for Trump supported legislation, by a Trump supporter?
