Opinion/ Deeply ignorant MAGA cashed in on lawmaker's assassination

By J. Patrick Coolican, Minnesota Reformer/ Commentary
Published June 16, 2025 8:15 AM ET

Just hours after Minnesotans learned that Democratic House leader Melissa Hortman had been assassinated, right-wing influencer Collin Rugg, who has 1.8 million followers on X, posted a “report” that hinted that she’d been killed because of a recent vote on ending undocumented adults’ ability to enroll in MinnesotaCare, a subsidized health insurance for the working poor.

Mike Cernovich, another right-wing influencer who has 1.4 million followers on X, took Rugg’s post and amped it up, but in the “just asking questions” style of many conspiracy theories:

“Did Tim Walz have her executed to send a message?”

They were deeply ignorant about the MinnesotaCare issue.

Maybe, Cernovich, Rugg, Mannarino.....and others ........ should have people call in and demand that all of them for example retrack what they are doing along with that rag under the Murdoch Banner.............we really need another Fairness Doctrine.............or maybe the two courageous survivors should sue these people asses off...........

Because they have nothing to offer. Thus, it is one big chase to out do the next guy. Stay clear of the cult.
