Trump’s Selective Memory: “Not Familiar” With Assassinated Democratic Lawmaker While Raging About “Left-wing Violence”
Donald Trump's response to political violence this week reveals something more sinister than mere hypocrisy—it's the deliberate construction of a false reality where only certain victims matter and only certain perpetrators exist. After days of raging about "left-wing violence" following Charlie Kirk's shooting, Trump was asked about Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated by a Trump supporter just months ago.

Remember, just because you find gun violence revolting, are an empathetic human-being, and have concern for the welfare of your fellow humans, that doesn't mean you are required to participate in the hagiography of an asshole.

Rep. Clay Higgins wants to use his government power to ban Americans from the internet for life if they say unkind things about Charlie Kirk's death. Yes, the same Clay Higgins who just two years ago co-sponsored the "Protecting Speech from Government Interference Act"—a performative bill that did literally nothing except restate that government actors cannot engage in censorship.

When tossed an absolute softball opportunity to demonstrate that he is, in fact, a human and not a ghoulish shithead, Trump’s response is “Meh. Anyway, look over there at the self-aggrandizing project I started because I am very insecure about my penis.”
Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?
TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.
