Victim Signaling: MN State Senator John Hoffman Tries to Link the Word 'Illegals' to His Shooting

When Minnesota State Senator John Hoffman was shot last summer, along with his wife, State Representative Melissa Hortman, and her husband, it caused a political firestorm on both sides of the aisle. Democrats tried desperately to claim that the shooter, Vance Boelter, was a 'MAGA white supremacist,' which would seem odd, given that Boelter owed his employment to Governor Tim Walz. Others have claimed that Boelter shot and killed Hortman because she was set to expose the rampant fraud taking place in Minnesota. There's no evidence of that theory, though Boelter did claim to the police that he was conducting an 'undercover investigation.'

The most likely truth is that Boelter is a nutbar. But one thing we know for sure is that he didn't shoot anyone because a politician called illegal immigrants 'illegals.' 

Don't tell that to Hoffman, however. Now back in the State Senate, he recently had a meltdown when fellow Senator Glenn Gruenhagen used the mean, old 'I' word, claiming that he was shot nine times because that word 'dehumanizes' people. Watch: 

Umm ... WHAT? 

Has anyone done a wellness check on Hoffman recently? We're not sure if he is mentally fit to be back in office. No matter what theory one subscribes to about Boelter's motives, plausible or otherwise, there is not a single person, not even on CNN, who is claiming that he went on a shooting spree because politicians 'dehumanized' illegal immigrants by calling them illegals.

We are grateful that Hoffman and his wife survived the shooting, but the fact of the shooting gives him NO license to dictate the words other people use. 

We get the feeling that Hoffman uses his shooting as a cudgel at every opportunity. 

God forbid his dry cleaner get his shirts wrong. 'I was shot nine times because you didn't use enough starch!'

Not just no. HELL no. 

In Hoffman's case? Nothing. 

However, illegals swarming over the border has a LOT to do with other people being killed. 

Funny how Democrats never care about the ultimate 'dehumanization' suffered by young women like Laken Riley.

We can't seem to find any record of Hoffman throwing a temper tantrum about the rampant fraud that his policies have enabled. 

Weird. 

... secure the border, and stop pretending words cause crime while illegal immigrants strain Medicaid and services. Facts over feelings, Senator.

We wish Gruenhagen had shot back at him instead of deferring, but this is what Hoffman was counting on. Gruenhagen is a decent man, so Hoffman knows hw can use his victim status as a weapon without any pushback.

That would have been a great response. Here are some others: 

If Hoffman is going to act like an unhinged child, then treat him like one. Just repeat the word back to him incessantly until he storms out of the chamber, crying. 

Minnesota Democrats? Triply, so. 

Sorry, John Hoffman. We're glad you are on the mend (physically anyway, if not mentally or emotionally). But the correct terminology for someone who crossed into our country illegally is ILLEGAL.
