John Hoffmans Frau „warf sich vor ihre Tochter“, um sie in „politisch motiviertem Attentat“ zu schützen, sagt die Familie

TLDR:

* Minnesota Senator John Hoffman’s wife Yvette Hoffman threw herself in front of the couple’s daughter to protect her after they were targeted in what is being referred to by Gov. Tim Walz as a [„politically motivated assassination.“](https://people.com/minnesota-lawmaker-killed-in-politically-motivated-assassination-11754827)
* Matt Oleg, Hoffman’s nephew, spoke with [KARE 11](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_YrPmvvjpA)’s A.J. Lagoe, telling the journalist that their family was „told that a bullet just very nearly missed Senator Hoffman’s heart, that his wife Yvette is in better condition, she had no organs pierced, and that she saved the couple’s daughter’s life.“ He continued, „The daughter Hope, who I believe is in her mid-twenties, was at home with her parents, and Yvette threw herself on top of her daughter,“ adding that [Hope „was not hit“ by gunfire](https://people.com/john-hoffmans-wife-threw-herself-in-front-of-daughter-to-protect-during-attack-family-says-11754851?utm_campaign=peoplemagazine&utm_medium=social&utm_source=reddit.com&utm_content=post?utm_campaign=peoplemagazine&utm_medium=social&utm_source=reddit.com&utm_content=comment).
* Oleg further told Lagoe that John and Yvette „are both out of surgery, they’re stable,“ and „minutes ago had been trying to bring the senator out from under anesthesia.“ [Melissa Hortman](https://people.com/john-hoffmans-wife-threw-herself-in-front-of-daughter-to-protect-during-attack-family-says-11754851?utm_campaign=peoplemagazine&utm_medium=social&utm_source=reddit.com&utm_content=post?utm_campaign=peoplemagazine&utm_medium=social&utm_source=reddit.com&utm_content=comment), another Democratic representative in the state, and her husband, were killed in the attack.

That’s how a real hero acts.! Do you see that, President Bonespurs McBragg?

Terrorist execution.

Our hearts go out to the victims and their families who should have never should have suffered such a horrible act of violence because they stand for democracy. Hateful speeches and words is what incites these unspeakable violent political crimes. Our Government on all levels must take hold of their actions and begin acting like lawful leaders. Bring back the rule of law, judicial oversight, uphold the Constitution in order to move this country out of this Orwellian period.

Surely Trump’s DOJ will seek the death penalty for the domestic terrorist MAGAt who did this, right? Right?

[Trump says he’ll seek the death penalty for ‚rapists, murderers, and monsters‘](https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-says-he-will-seek-death-penalty-rapists-murderers-monsters-2024-12-24/)

Meanwhile, Trump would shield himself using any of his children without hesitation just to live out the remaining years of his awful existence

That mother is a damn hero. Talk about bravery and selflessness. I wish I had a mom like that, mine would use me as a human shield

What a weirdly written article. Half way through it, „they all got shot, but they’re okay! they even say it might have been an assassination attempt!“. „Well you know, it was such a great time at the fundraiser party, but then we had this assassination attempt, so annoying!“

Actual news: MAGA maniac shot and killed lawmaker, injured others.

Shit is fucked up. Crazy it’s gotten to this
