Jon Stewart condemned Sen. Mike Lee for trivializing the recent shootings of two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses through his social media posts. Despite the tragedy of State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband’s deaths, and State Sen. John Hoffman’s injuries, Lee mocked Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, attributing the violence to 'Marxists' and suggesting that the shooter was a victim of Walz's appointments. Stewart recounted a bitter memory of meeting Lee with first responders advocating for 9/11 victim compensation, underlining Lee's disregard for those affected by trauma and violence.
This is what happens when Marxists don't get their way, Lee wrote in one post, which included an image of Vance Boelter, the accused shooter who is now in police custody after a massive manhunt over the weekend.
We had a team of Feel Good Foundation and a team of first responders with us. Firefighters, cops, other people. One of the cops had been in the first tower when it collapsed.
