The Minnesota GOP on Monday announced they’re “heartbroken by the tragic loss of Dr Jeff Johnson’s daughter, who was killed in a violent crime Saturday night in St Cloud. There are no words that can adequately express the sorrow we feel for Jeff and his family. The loss of a child is unimaginable, and our thoughts and prayers are with them as they grieve this devastating tragedy.”
“Out of respect for his family and the enormity of this loss, Jeff has suspended his campaign for Governor of Minnesota. We ask all Minnesotans to join us in lifting up the Johnson family during this incredibly painful time. We also extend our gratitude to the first responders and law enforcement officers involved and ask for patience and compassion as the investigation continues,” the party’s Facebook post continued, emphasis added above to the very Fox News-coded phrasing.
It’s accurate. Johnson’s 22 year-old daughter Haley Tobler was indeed the victim of a horrifically violent crime, per WDIO, who report that her husband, 23 year-old Dylan Michael Tobler, was found in their home with apparently self-inflicted stab wounds and is expected to face charges upon release from hospitalization. Terrible tragedy and a depraved act of domestic violence that the Minnesota GOP seemed to want to just kind of sort of hint that it wasn’t definitely not a Somali refugee that did it. Get the fans amped up a little bit before media citing police statements seeps in.
Life gives you lemon rinds, squeeze just a few tiny molecules of lemonade out of them.
Amazingly “Tragic but truthfully by dropping out of the campaign you’re giving the domestic terrorist and traitor democrats exactly what they want,” was the most politically-coded reply by some MAGA dipshit. When corrected he wrote “anyone believing that it’s in the end about politics doesn’t have much intelligence! The first part of this unfortunate tragedy may not but the ending does, when the deranged terrorists get exactly what they want, a candidate to drop out of the race. People really should stop getting educated at the school of learing [sic], because it’s definitely showing.”
