Trump is asked why flags weren't half-staff for Melissa Hortman. "Uh, I'm not familiar, who?" asked Trump. [View all]
Trump was confronted by a reporter on why he hadn't bothered to order flags at half-staff for the murder of former Democratic Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman, as he did after right-wing youth activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated at Utah Valley University last week.
"Do you think it would have been fitting to lower the flags for Melissa Hortman who was killed as well?" asked a reporter.
"Uh, I’m not familiar, who?" asked Trump.
When Trump was reminded who Hortman was and what had happened to her, Trump said, "Well if the governor had asked me to do that, I would have done that. But the governor of Minnesota didn't ask me. I didn't. I wouldn't have thought of that. But I would have, if somebody had asked me ... Had the governor of Minnesota asked me to do that, I would have done that, gladly."
