Minnesota Democrat Melissa Hortman was assassinated last night, and state Senator John Hoffman was shot by the same individual posing as a police officer.

This marks the first time since 1998 that a State lawmakers was assassinated for political reasons.

What are your thoughts on this event? What do you think we as a nation should do to tone down the rhetoric? Are we heading in the right or wrong direction as a nation when it comes to political violence and what should be done about it?
