By June 2025, Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were murdered by Vance Boelter, a registered Republican and Trump loyalist. Boelter then tried to kill Senator John Hoffman, leaving him and his wife seriously wounded.

And most recently, right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk was shot by Tyler Robinson, a young man from a staunch Republican Mormon family. Robinson has no formal party ties but has reportedly adopted the ideology of far-right extremist Nick Fuentes.

So how many attackers from this list are associated with the Democratic Party, progressives, or mainstream leftist groups? The answer: none. The only individual who could be described as Left-leaning is Quintez Brown.

Whether he "supported the right" at the moment he killed Kirk is really besides the point.

He was raised, in a deep red area in a deep red state, in a right-wing, MAGA environment his whole life. That's all he knew from the time he was born. He came from a pro gun / hunter family, deeply entrenched in that culture from what he said in his texts and how he felt responsible for his grandfather's bolt action rifle.

He was stewed in it, forged by it his whole life and those are the values and morality that formed him.
