Joe Scarborough compared Melissa Hortman with Charlie Kirk

Apparently, the left's newest talking point in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination is that Minnesota State Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman's assassination means that this is happening equally to both parties. This morning, Joe Scarborough tried the chanting point as Jessica Tarlov tried with Greg Gutfeld. Scarborough's argument simply doesn't work. According to the article, Scarborough is quoted as saying "I have been baffled over the past several days by people like Stephen Miller talking about this being a one-sided issue, when just a few months ago, the most powerful Democrat in the state of Minnesota was gunned down in her family’s home. The same people who are calling for civil war were the same people who said absolutely nothing when she was shot."

There's just one problem with Joe's story. That problem is that it's fiction. Here in Minnesota, people grieved after Melissa Hortman's assassination. From there, Scarborough went off the rails:

It’s again baffling to me that the same people who are calling for civil war were the same people who said absolutely nothing when she was shot. Or maybe we should talk that same night about the madman who had a hit list of 42 Democrats on it, who then went over and shot nine times—the state senator that Melissa Hortman worked with, John Hoffman, took nine shots to his body; his wife, Yvette, took eight shots to her body inside their family home. Then the gunman escaped with, again, a hit list with 42 other Democratic names on it, including Tammy Baldwin, the United States senator from Wisconsin.
First, Republicans aren't "calling for civil war." We're highlighting the fact that this isn't a situation where both sides are equally culpable. Democrats mention Jan. 6 and think that inoculates them from the George Floyd Riots. J6 lasted half a day. The George Floyd Riots lasted half a summer and caused billions of dollars of damage.

That's before counting the antisemitic protests in NYC. Republicans don't protest like that. We don't support terrorists, either. Democrats support Hamas. Behold Joe's rant:

Has Sue Ek come face-to-face with DFL hijinks?

Apparently, Minnesota state and county employees aren't that attentive to details. Last night, a frequent reader of this blog sent me a statement from House Speaker-designate Lisa Demuth, R-Cold Spring ." She issued the following statement regarding vote tabulation errors, malfunctions, and discrepancies that have taken place in Sherburne and Scott Counties: The errors and discrepancies we've seen this cycle are intolerable and unacceptable. A free and fair election demands sunlight on the process. These incidents fuel distrust and raise questions about the integrity and accuracy of election results. Without an opportunity to observe or respond Sherburne County added newly-found votes to the total. Just a day later, Scott County announced an unspecified "ballot distribution error" and "ballot scanning malfunction" that triggered an abrupt re-scan of more than 20,000 ballots. There was less than two hours notice between the public announcement and the be...

BREAKING NEWS: counterfeit ballot alert in Minnesota

How Difficult Should it be to Get a Ballot? By John W. Palmer November 4, 2024 Securing an official ballot for your ward and precinct normally requires registration to vote and either showing up at a polling place or securing an absentee ballot. Ballot security is a cornerstone of an election free of fraud. When the tailgate of a vehicle was left open and unattended revealing a large stack of blank ballots, Minnesotans were appalled. Imagine how you would feel when you learn that all it takes to get a reproducible ballot for your ward and precinct is to download a file from a government website. In Stearns and several other Minnesota counties, imagination is not needed. Right now, all you have to do is go to Minnesota’s Secretary of State’s website and download a file. Go to this website and select “Get a sample ballot”. Then enter your zip code and address and your ballot appears. Now you are able to download the ballot as a PDF file. Once you have the PDF file you can print as many ...

Tim Walz doubling down on Gestapo speech

Image
When Tim Walz, Minnesota's DFL governor, delivered the commencement address for the University of Minnesota Law school, he didn't deliver the typical commencement speech. He delivered a highly partisan speech instead. Gov. Walz compared "federal law enforcement agents implementing President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown to a Nazi-era political police force." He called ICE agents Gestapo. Let's compare the 2. The Gestapo's mission was to rid Germany of Jews. To the Gestapo, it didn't matter that these Jews were German citizens and had been decades. Thanks to the Aryan Clauses, Jews were considered subhuman and weren't really Germans. That's an awfully racist viewpoint. Is Gov. Walz accusing law enforcement officers of being racists? I.C.E. I.C.E. agents enforce laws that bipartisan majorities in both houses of Congress have passed and that the president has signed. These immigration bills were negotiated between the 2 parties. The Aryan Clau...
