Last night, Minnesota officially signed into law: • The largest tax cut in state history • No new taxes • Repeal of free healthcare for illegal immigrants This was only possible because of Democrat Leader Melissa Hortman. We disagreed on just about every issue—but she was the only House Democrat willing to meet in the middle and deliver real results for Minnesotans. It’s heartbreaking that she’s gone. Her leadership in this moment will not be forgotten, and her legacy will live on long after all of us. Life is fragile. Hold your loved ones close. Political violence is never acceptable. Pray for peace.

@GrageDustin Sending prayers to her children and family.

@GrageDustin Rest well Melissa 💪

@GrageDustin well said

@GrageDustin Horrible tragedy. God rest her soul! 🥺❤️

@GrageDustin Incredibly sad. We need all the details.

@GrageDustin @GovTimWalz has blood on his hands. His constant hateful rhetoric cost Melissa Hortman her life. If Tim was a man he would hold himself accountable and step down. But he is not so he wont.

All the comments saying, Don't use her like this for this vote, miss the point. There's nothing wrong with what @GrageDustin stated, and many—if not most—believe she died because of this vote. This post is spot on. May Melissa Hortman rest in peace. God bless and Godspeed as she begins her new journey.

@GrageDustin A beautiful message. My heart goes out to her children. Please lift the Hortman family up in prayer 🙏💕

@GrageDustin I don't think we got an actual tax cut, and if we did, the fact it's the largest in history shows how overtaxed we are in this state. What are the details?

@GrageDustin Don’t use her for your political issue messaging, please, this is fucking heartbreaking

@GrageDustin I asked Grok for more info about the “largest tax cut in state history” and here’s what Grok said:

@GrageDustin It appears she was an example to Democrats where parties can meet in the middle instead of being head strong and childish when decisions need to be made. It is called "adulting" @MinnesotaDFL

@GrageDustin This is fucking vile, Dustin. She talked about how that vote was the hardest vote she ever took. Don’t use her death as a rallying point for it.

@GrageDustin Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman said this was the most difficult session in her 21 years & cried about her vote for this bill, u soulless valueless little man. HOW DARE U INVOKE HER NAME. youtu.be/Mo4p8T0CxsI?si…

@GrageDustin Meaning, all the DFL’s bipartisant talk is exactly BS?

@GrageDustin It’s really sad! That nut job deserves death penalty, not just for murdering her, but also for really hurting the hopefulness to achieve cross party common sense policies.

@GrageDustin And the leftists killed her for it

@GrageDustin There may still be a sliver of hope for Minnesota.

@GrageDustin This is amazing! Did Walz sign off on everything with no thoughts of a veto?

@GrageDustin I just saw on @kare11 that her home was broken into. What is wrong with people?

@GrageDustin 😥🙏😥 Praying for Melissa Hortman’s family and friends. Such a senseless and evil murder of Melissa and her husband, and attack on Hoffmans 😡😥🙏

@GrageDustin They killed her for it too

@GrageDustin She did what she thought was best, a deal she made and she kept her word. It's a tragedy no matter which party you represent

@GrageDustin @TheRealGOP I bet Timmy Didn't like that.

@GrageDustin No it's not. I'm so sorry for Minnesota's loss. Her death was needless.

@GrageDustin And, the hard work of the Republicans! Don't sell their efforts short...

@GrageDustin She leaves a wonderful legacy behind

@GrageDustin This is so sad. It doesn’t matter what she voted for, her life was more important than a vote. She showed courage to stand up for her constituents even though she knew she would get pushback from fellow Democrats.

@GrageDustin 💔💔💔

@GrageDustin 😢

@GrageDustin 😢💔😢

@GrageDustin That's huge

@GrageDustin Yes, this took courage!

@GrageDustin God BLESS her family. The DNC is totally BROKE. MN is still being targeted by Communists. MN is not a poor, or indebted State; we HAVE a balanced ( Shell Game) budget amendment in the State Constitution. Commie Globalists are desperate; they're going to come at us harder.🇺🇲

@GrageDustin Thank you Melissa Hortman.

@GrageDustin ❤️ A person who could reason for the good of her people
