Meanwhile the other party selects billionaires as cabinet members.

He and Kobluchar responded, because the guy was from their state, so they felt they should say something. The fact that they are attacked solely because they weren't making death threats is mind blowing. Their job as politicians is to put regulations to thwart these practices, not kill people.

You can have your own opinion about the CEO, but you don't want politicians resolve problems by killing people. We saw this in Germany in 30s and 40s.

They could've just not tweeted anything. No one had a gun to their head forcing them to tweet. There is no binary of tweet pro CEO or pro shooter.

They did not tweet for all the other gun related deaths that have happened in their State this month. They did not tweet for all the people UHC killed in their State. They are playing favorites, and their favorite victim is the multi millionaire with a lot of blood on his hands.

He sent this tweet two hours after the incident. No one knew at the time what were the motivations behind it. All they knew at the time was that CEO of subsidary headquartered in Minnesota was shot (by accident or otherwise) and that was it. We later learned the rest.

What were the gun related deaths that weren't tweeted about?

By all means I don't feel sorry for this guy, I agree with the sentiment, but I don't want politicians to be the ones asking to murder someone. I want them to regulate, so killing people this way is not possible.

Ok so 124 victims of gun violence in Minnesota in 2023 without any context. It could be gang violence, shot by police, suicide etc. When you say somebody didn't comment about someone else's death you would know the victim name and some background story what happened.

Wait, SO you are both defending Wallz for sending a condolences tweet for a dead evil CEO because there wasn't any context to the killing yet, and defending him for not tweeting about the other 124 victims in his state because there wasn't enough context. Kinda sounds like you are just defending Wallz because you like him.
