Fact check: Donald Trump said killed minnesota senators deserved it

1. Summary of the results

The original statement claims that Donald Trump said Minnesota senators who were killed deserved it. However, none of the sources provided support this claim ^{[1] [2] [3]}. Instead, they report on Trump's response to a question about lowering flags for murdered Minnesota Democrat Melissa Hortman, where he stated he was 'not familiar' with her and suggested he would have lowered the flags if the governor had asked him to ^{[1] [2] [3]}. Other sources discuss Trump's efforts to influence the media landscape, his comments on Jimmy Kimmel's show, and the controversy surrounding Kimmel's comments about Charlie Kirk's suspected killer ^{[4] [5] [6]}. Additionally, some sources mention Trump's comments on TV networks, his moves against media outlets, and his reaction to Jimmy Kimmel's suspension ^{[7] [8] [9]}. Overall, there is no evidence to support the claim that Trump said killed Minnesota senators deserved it ^{[1] [2] [3]}.

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

A key piece of missing context is that there is no record of Trump making a statement about Minnesota senators deserving to be killed ^{[1] [2] [3]}. Alternative viewpoints suggest that Trump's comments on Melissa Hortman were focused on his lack of familiarity with her and his willingness to lower flags if requested by the governor ^{[1] [2] [3]}. Other sources provide context on Trump's media influence efforts, his comments on Jimmy Kimmel's show, and the controversy surrounding Kimmel's comments about Charlie Kirk's suspected killer ^{[4] [5] [6]}. It is also important to consider the potential motivations behind the original statement and the sources that report on Trump's actions and comments ^{[1] [2] [3]}. For example, some sources may have a bias against Trump or a particular political agenda ^{[4] [5] [6]}, which could influence their reporting on his comments and actions.

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement appears to be completely unfounded and potentially misleading ^{[1] [2] [3]}. None of the sources provided support the claim that Trump said killed Minnesota senators deserved it ^{[1] [2] [3]}. This suggests that the original statement may be an example of misinformation or a deliberate attempt to spread false information ^{[1] [2] [3]}. The sources that report on Trump's comments and actions may also have a bias or agenda that influences their reporting ^{[4] [5] [6]}. For example, some sources may be more critical of Trump or have a liberal bias ^{[4] [5] [6]}, while others may be more supportive of Trump or have a conservative bias ^{[7] [8] [9]}. Ultimately, it is essential to carefully evaluate the sources and consider multiple viewpoints to form an accurate understanding of the situation ^{[1] [2] [3]}.
