“Not a single Republican condemned the targeted shooting of a Democratic politician in Minnesota in June.”

Following the June 14, 2025, targeted shootings of Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and State Senator John Hoffman, there was a widespread, bipartisan condemnation of the violence. Contrary to the claim, Republican leadership and elected officials across the country explicitly denounced the attacks. House Speaker Mike Johnson stated that 'such horrific political violence has no place in our society, and every leader must unequivocally condemn it.' Senate Majority Leader John Thune also expressed horror at the events, stating that 'political violence has no place in our nation.' Furthermore, Minnesota's entire congressional delegation—which includes both Democrats and Republicans—issued a joint statement condemning the attack. Additional Republican leaders, such as Oregon House Republican Leader Christine Drazan, also released formal statements condemning the 'targeted, political assassination.' While some individual social media users and commentators engaged in inflammatory rhetoric or spread misinformation regarding the shooter's motives, the assertion that no Republicans condemned the act is factually incorrect.
