She emerged a minute later talking to Lee in an adjacent hallway. The two spoke for a couple of minutes before the Minnesota Democrat emerged. Andddd she found him 'Let me gather myself,' Smith said as she left, declining to comment initially. She eventually told told reporters that Lee 'seemed a little surprised to be confronted.' Lee angered Democrats of all stripes when he pinned blame on their side of the aisle after Melissa Hortman, the Democratic former Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives, and her husband were killed over the weekend at their home. The same man is suspected of shooting a second state lawmaker, state Sen. John Hoffman (D), and his wife at their home. 'This is what happens When Marxists don't get their way,' Lee wrote on Sunday on his personal X account. Shortly after, he commented, 'Nightmare on Waltz Street,' referring to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), alongside a photo of the suspected shooter. The two remarks were condemned by numerous Democrats. Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) called Lee's remarks 'beyond dangerous' and 'absolutely unacceptable.' Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.), a friend of the late legislator, had told MSNBC prior to returning to Washington that she also planned on talking to Lee and condemned his comments. 'What I'm going to tell him is: This isn't funny,' she said.
