The Minnesota Shootings: The Spawn Of Hate Rhetoric

People took it as pure political rhetoric when Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama’s declared spiritual influence, used the phrase “the chickens have come home to roost.” Little did he, Obama, or anyone else know—but for the Marxists of the far-Left in the Democrat Party, that those chickens would appear in the form of unhinged murderers targeting elected officials for assassination.The far-Left’s gratuitous hate messaging, continuous in the mainstream since Obama’s Marxist coalition erupted onto the main political stage in 2008, has fomented a reality so mired in desperation—a desperation fostered by a litany of manufactured crises and myriad campaigns or smear and hate, all in a quest for power—that the intellectually fragile and brainwashed who follow them are rationalizing murder as a tool of protest and legitimate political discourse. It’s happening increasingly and without discrimination for political ideology, from political rallies in Butler, Pennsylvania, to Florida golf courses and now, to posh neighborhoods in Minnesota.Case in point.In a chilling act of politically motivated violence, former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman (D) and her husband, Mark, were assassinated in their Brooklyn Park home around 2am on Saturday, while State Sen. John Hoffman (D) and his wife were seriously injured in a similar shooting just five miles away. Authorities have identified Vance Luther Boelter, a former Tim Walz appointee to the Governor’s Workforce Development Board, as the prime suspect in the attacks. Boelter remains at large after escaping a confrontation with police.The suspect, impersonating a police officer with a vest, badge, and Taser, arrived at Hoffman’s home first, leaving the couple with multiple gunshot wounds. Both are in stable condition following surgery. The gunman then targeted Hortman’s residence in Champlin.Brooklyn Park Police Chief Mark Bruley reported that officers responding to Hortman’s home noticed a vehicle with emergency lights and a person posing as an officer:“When our officers confronted him, the individual immediately fired upon the officers, who exchanged gunfire, and the suspect retreated back into the home…”The suspect fled the scene and remains uncaptured.Inside the suspect’s car, police discovered a murderous, unhinged manifesto listing other lawmakers and officials, many Democrats, though specific names were not disclosed.Additionally, a stack of papers with the phrase “No Kings” was found, directly linking the attack to nationwide anti-Trump protests planned as a “national day of action and mass mobilization” against the Trump administration’s policies.Melissa Hortman, 55, a progressive Democrat who served in the Minnesota House since 2004, was House Speaker from 2019 until February 2025. She was a vocal advocate for trans rights and pro-choice policies—all sweetheart causes of the far-Left, but faced backlash just five days before her death for voting to cut state health benefits for illegal immigrants in the state, siding with Republicans in a budget compromise.The decision, which Gov. Walz intends to sign into law, left Hortman saying:“I know that people will be hurt by that vote, and we worked very hard to get a budget deal that didn’t include that provision. They’re right to be mad at me. I think some of them are pretty, pretty angry. I think that their job was to make folks who voted for that bill feel like crap, and I think that they succeeded.”Sen. John Hoffman, 60, who survived the attack, voted in favor of repealing state-funded healthcare coverage for illegal immigrant adults as well, joining four other Democrats and Republicans in the Minnesota Senate. He was also one of two Democrats who voted with Republicans to end Governor Tim Walz’s COVID emergency powers.Hortman was pronounced dead at the scene, and her husband, Mark, succumbed despite efforts to save him. The couple leaves behind two children. Authorities have labeled the attacks as targeted, underscoring the deliberate, calculated, and malicious nature of his actions.The shootings, ineptly described by Walz as “an unspeakable tragedy” and a “politically motivated assassination,” highlight the dangerous consequences of trading in inflammatory political rhetoric, an activity at which Walz and his ilk excel. The suspect’s use of “No Kings” flyers strongly intimate having been motivated by a broader, hatefilled, anti-government and, specifically, an anti-Trump sentiment, fueled by the rhetoric of people like Walz, Corey Booker, Hakeem Jeffries, AOC, Elizabeth Warren, Gavin Newsom, Bernie Sanders, Barack Obama, and the “queen of mean,” Hillary Clinton issued forth exclusively to achieve partisan division.These killings serve as a grim reminder of the risks politicians take in creating a purposely polarized ideological and political climate, where political decisions incite deadly actions from the brainwashed and indoctrinated they create. It is insane and disingenuous to believe that far-Left public officials and potentates can spew hate 24/7/365 and keep a running narrative that castigates anyone who disagrees with them as Nazis, Hitler, and evil incarnate, and not have the most intellectual stunted among them take those messages to heart. The outcome of such an ill-thought-out political strategy is evident to even a Chicago public school third grader, and that’s saying something.So, as Minnesota—and the country—grapples with this unnecessary tragedy, the incident demands a reckoning for the far-Left’s toxic rhetoric, rhetoric that emboldens such acts, rhetoric that threatens the safety of public servants and the stability of democratic discourse.Then, if one looks at the history of communist, socialist, and Marxist revolutions, wouldn’t this be precisely what they want?The "No Kings" March:A Divisive & Dangerous DemonstrationThe "No Kings" marches taking place across the country today, have sparked widespread concern due to the use of divisive rhetoric, the potential to incite violence, and provocative scheduling on a day meant to celebrate national unity. These events, framed as protests against perceived authoritarianism, undermine the principles of cohesion and constructive dialogue symbolized by the American flag. By choosing Flag Day, organizers amplify the march’s confrontational nature, threatening to fracture communities and dishonor a symbol of shared values.The marches’ messaging is inherently divisive, portraying the United States as a monarchical oppressor rather than a Constitutional Republic built on individual liberty and freedom. The "No Kings" slogan reduces complex political issues to an imbecilic, simplistic narrative of “rebellion versus tyranny,” alienating those who seek reasoned debate. This approach fosters an "us versus them" mentality, deepening societal rifts at a time when unity is sorely needed.The recent shootings of Democrat lawmakers in Minnesota—Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband killed, and Senator John Hoffman and his wife wounded—illustrate the dangers of the far-Left’s polarizing rhetoric. The discovery of "No Kings" flyers in the suspect’s vehicle, alongside a manifesto targeting pro-choice Democrats and Democrats who voted against taxpayer-funded healthcare for illegal immigrants, suggests that the march’s anti-establishment sentiment fueled this targeted political violence, even if not directly organized by it. Such events highlight how divisive rhetoric can radicalize individuals, exacerbating tensions and undermining civil discourse.The potential for the "No Kings" marches—and events like them—to incite violence is a serious concern, as demonstrated by the Minnesota tragedy. Described by Democrat Governor Tim Walz as “targeted political violence,” the shootings coincided with the planned protests, leading to their cancellation in Minnesota due to safety fears. The suspect’s manifesto, listing dozens of Democrat lawmakers and pro-choice advocates, points to a broader climate of hostility that events like the "No Kings" march risk amplifying.By promoting confrontational themes, the marches create a volatile atmosphere where passions can escalate into violence, endangering public safety and destabilizing communities. History shows that emotionally charged demonstrations often lead to violent clashes, and the Minnesota incident underscores the real-world consequences of such divisiveness.The choice of Flag Day for the march is particularly troubling. June 14 commemorates the adoption of the American flag, a symbol of hope, sacrifice, and opportunity for millions, both here at home and around the world. By co-opting this day, organizers disrespect the sacrifices of those who have defended the nation, the free world, and the aspirations of those who view the flag as a beacon of freedom. This timing illegitimately co-opts a unifying holiday into a platform for confrontation, further alienating those who see the flag as a representation of shared ideals and freedom rather than oppression.The American flag holds profound significance, both in the United States and globally, symbolizing democracy, resilience, and the pursuit of liberty and opportunity. It inspires movements for freedom worldwide and represents the collective aspiration to overcome oppression and tyranny.Condemning the "No Kings" march does not mean stifling dissent. Rather, it’s a call for dialogue that respects the flag’s meaning and prioritizes unity over division.To honor the American flag’s symbolism and meaning, its legacy, let’s engage in constructive discourse and reject protests that deepen divides and risk violence, ensuring the American flag remains a symbol of hope, e pluribus unum, and freedom. The No Kings marches and the demonstrations in Los Angeles do not travel down that path.In Closing…Thanks for listening to this episode of Underground USA.In these chaotic days, where truth and free expression are vital, we’re far from powerless to uphold them; we’re the sentinels of America’s core principles.
