the Democratic Party of MN got all sorts of shit because the Repukes said the funeral was a rally and disrespectful to the death of Wellstone and that the Dems were using it for gain. Jesus Christ that funeral was sedate compared to the shit show that went on today

The 2 just aren't comparable. Wellstone was a respected Senator and had a good working relationship with the other side.
Charlie Kirk was mostly a grifting troll.
