Political leaders from both sides of the aisle are condemning political violence following the shootings of two Minnesota lawmakers. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries joins The Weekend to discuss this plus the massive turnouts for “No Kings” protests in the face of Trump’s military parade.

A manhunt is underway for the gunman who was impersonating a police officer and had a list of possible targets, officials said.

Threats and violent acts have become part of the political landscape, still shocking but somehow not so surprising.

Local elected officials on Saturday condemned the shootings in Minnesota that left a state legislator dead and another wounded.

Republicans and Democrats said Saturday's killings in Minnesota were a chilling reminder of the threats they receive regularly.

“We’ve entered into this especially scary time in the country where it feels the sort of norms and rhetoric and rules that would tamp down on violence have been lifted,” said Matt Dallek, a political scientist at Georgetown University who studies extremism. “A lot of people are receiving signals from the culture.”

Two Minnesota lawmakers, Senator John Hoffman and Representative Melissa Hortman, were shot in separate overnight incidents at their homes in Champlin and Brooklyn Park. Authorities say the suspect may be posing as a police officer.

Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL) Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman was shot in her Brooklyn Park home, while fellow party member Sen. John Hoffman was targeted roughly 8 miles away in Champlin, sources told 5 Eyewitness News. A manhunt is on for the suspect, who was wearing black body armor over a blue shirt and blue pants.
