So a leftist kills a fellow Democrat for voting against healthcare benefits for illegal immigrants? Is that what just happened?
Yup
Except it's not.
https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/14/us/minnesota-shootings-manhunt-vance-boelter-invsVance Boelter was also an outspoken evangelical Christian who traveled to Africa to tell his faith story and, in at least one sermon, pointedly questioned American morals on sexual orientation, according to videos and social media posts reviewed by CNN.
Boelter was a conservative who was strongly against abortion rights, a longtime friend told CNN on Saturday. But Boelter never mentioned any particular anger with the lawmakers who were shot, said David Carlson.
“It wasn’t the thing that defined him,” he said of his religious and political beliefs.
Carlson added, “He wasn’t a hateful person. But he needed help.”
Now, a massive manhunt is ongoing to catch Boelter, 57, who authorities say is a suspect in killing one lawmaker and her husband and wounding another and his wife, leaving behind an apparent hit list with dozens of names in his car after exchanging fire with police outside the home of one victim and fleeing the scene. Gov. Tim Walz, a Democrat, said the attack “appears to be a politically motivated assassination.”“There’s people especially in America, they don’t know what sex they are, they don’t know their sexual orientation, they’re confused. The enemy has gotten so far into their mind and their soul,” he said in a sermon at a Pentecostal church in the eastern DRC.
This would not sound like a liberal to anyone with sense. But all that needs to happen is for Fox News to tell hateful people lies that they want to hear, and they'll believe it. Against all logic.
THIS is why discourse is never truly had. Because one side wants to just lie, use those lies to harm others, and have no one question it.
And before another lie drops, here are 2 more sources that aren't a conservative brainwashing entertainment platform disguised as a news network. They all highlight his conservative beliefs, who he voted for (Trump) and his targeting of only Democratic politicians and those aligned with "liberal" beliefs:

Can't really blame them. Even when confronted with unequivocal truth, rather than do any type of self introspection or examination of the facts, they will simply move to the next topic or "what about..." their way out of having to confront the lie they just told and believed. Its cognitive dissonance to the absolute extreme.
So when you're as ruthless capitalists as they are at Fox News, why wouldn't you exploit that type of thinking to your financial gain lol.
It is still a shame though, because we all have to live in the same country at the end of the day.
