Early Saturday morning, a man disguised as a police officer went door to door in the Minneapolis suburbs with a hit list. He shot State Senator John Hoffman and his wife. He murdered State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband. He nearly reached my own childhood senator, Ann Rest.
This was a political assassination—and it happened in my hometown.
In this bonus episode, Olivia and I walk through what we know, what we still don’t, and the questions we can’t stop asking: Could this have been prevented? Why was it so easy for the killer to impersonate authority? And what does accountability look like when the truth is still unfolding?
We also speak with News Nation reporter Brian Entin, who traveled to Minnesota to cover the story as it happened, about what he’s learned on the ground and what might come next.
If you’re looking for a way to support the Hortman family, Melissa and Mark’s children have shared this GoFundMe: Support Colin and Sophie after their tragic loss
