In the wake of the horrific shootings in Minnesota that left former House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband dead and State Senator John Hoffman and his wife hospitalized, Senator Cory Booker wasted no time jumping in front of a camera to deliver a sermon on “context”—a not-so-subtle attempt to blame President Donald Trump and his supporters.
In a video posted to his X account, Booker began with standard boilerplate stuff: “What happened in Minnesota is horrific. This is not right, it is not normal, it is not justifiable, and should not be tolerated. Violence, political violence, of any kind is not acceptable.”
But then came the pivot. Booker didn’t wait for the investigation to finish before framing the incident as the product of a political environment allegedly fueled by conservative rhetoric.
“The context and rhetoric and actions that spawned violence, too, should not be tolerated,” he said, appearing to imply that the right bears responsibility.
