1:06Now PlayingIn the aftermath of the shootings of two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses, some lawmakers are taking heat for their divisive rhetoric.
Minnesota leaders spoke out against those who are using this moment as a political tool and challenged fellow lawmakers to do better, turn down the temperature, and respect this time to grieve.
Sen. Smith had approached Republican Sen. Mike Lee from Utah for posts blaming the horrific shootings on liberal ideology. After facing backlash — across the aisle — the posts have since been deleted.
That is just one of many examples of legislators pointing blame. Some lawmakers also called out President Donald Trump for not calling Gov. Tim Walz, which they said would be customary during a tragedy.
