Similarly Trump was asked if he would have lowered the flags when Melissa Hortman (sitting house speaker of Minnesota) was assassinated and he basically said, "Who she?"

In response to a question about why he did not order flags lowered to half-staff to honor Melissa Hortman, the Democratic speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives who was assassinated alongside her husband this summer, Donald Trump initially said he was “not familiar” with the case.

The question came up during a briefing in the Oval Office on Monday, in light of the president’s order last week to lower flags in response to the killing of rightwing activist Charlie Kirk.

Trump was pressed on why he and Republicans continued cast blame the left for a rise in political violence when elected officials and activists from both parties have been targets.

The exchange began when the reporter asked about the tributes paid by the White House to Kirk, the founder of the conservative youth activist group Turning Point USA and a close ally of the president and his family.

“Do you think it would have been fitting to lower the flags to half-staff when Melissa Hortman, the Minnesota house speaker, was gunned down by an assassin as well?” asked Nancy Cordes, the chief White House correspondent for CBS News.

“I’m not familiar. The who?” Trump replied, leaning in across the Resolute Desk.

“The Minnesota house speaker, a Democrat, who was assassinated this summer,” she said.

“Oh,” Trump replied. “Well, if the governor had asked me to do that, I would have done that.”
