00:00We're here today because an unspeakable tragedy has unfolded in Minnesota.
00:04My good friend and colleague, Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark, were shot and
00:09killed early this morning in what appears to be a politically motivated assassination.
00:14Our state lost a great leader, and I lost a dearest of friends.
00:18My prayers also go out to State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette, who were each
00:24shot multiple times.
00:26The Hoffmans are out of surgery at this time and receiving care, and we are cautiously
00:31optimistic that they will survive this assassination attempt.
00:36This tragic act here in Minnesota should serve as a reminder to all of us.
00:43The democracy and the debates in the halls of Congress, in state houses, in school boards,
00:51is a way to settle our differences peacefully and move society to a better place.
