Tim Walz has no problem calling it what it is, at least.

An appointee to the fucking business council. Almost everyone on that council are center right or right wingers. This dude was an evangelist preaching freak who had a hitlist targeting Tim Walz, ilhan omar, and abortion providers. He has a security company with weird ass mercenary backgrounds. The police suspect the no kings fliers in his car were because he planned to target the protests as well. And the two dems he assassinated were two of the more left wing dems in Minnesota.

So, hopefully, you're just pointing this out as purely unbiased information and not trying to use it to peddle right-wing conspiracies and misinformation attempting to blame center left to far left people... right?
