Grieving loved ones of Minnesota’s former House Speaker and her husband will gather Saturday at the Basilica of Saint Mary in Minneapolis to honor the couple, whose shocking killings in an attack earlier this month stunned the nation.

The private funeral will be attended by leaders including former President Joe Biden, who joined scores of visitors on Friday in paying tribute to Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman, her husband, Mark, and their golden retriever, Gilbert, who also died after being shot during the attack, as they lie in state beneath the rotunda of the Minnesota State Capitol.

Just a few miles away from the Capitol where a long line of mourners stretched down the statehouse grounds, Vance Boelter – the alleged gunman accused of killing Hortman and her husband and seriously injuring another state lawmaker and his wife – faced a federal judge on Friday.

Gov. Tim Walz, a Democrat, has called the attack on the Hortmans an apparent “politically motivated assassination.”

I have a host of reasons for not liking trump. The fact that trump does not have a dog says a great deal about trump
