It’s hard to read this and see these people can’t tell the difference between death threats and hate speech. Hateful tweets or posters that tell public officials to “die” or “kill your self” are very much different than people threatening to kill them or attempting to kill them.

“It is disgraceful that even in the face of actual violence, Emmer chose to uphold his "right" to intimidating political speech. As the interviewer pointed out, if Emmer wanted to make a point about firing Pelosi, a pink slip would have been far more pertinent than a gun…”

It’s a sad day in Minnesota when I hear from countless parents who are too concerned for their children’s safety to let them go trick-or-treating in their own neighborhoods. We are losing the state we know and love. That all changes next Tuesday.

The attack on Speaker Pelosi’s family was not a “random act.” It was the logical result of a Republican Party that has targeted the Speaker and other prominent women in public life for over a decade now, and then gaslights us when we call out its danger. Just a few examples:

A far right white nationalist tried to assassinate the Speaker of the House and almost killed her husband a year after violent insurrectionists tried to find her and kill her in the Capitol, and the Republican Party’s response is to either ignore it or belittle it.
