‘Rock bottom': Deputy chair of Minnesota GOP politicizes Robin Williams’ death

How soon is too soon to politicize the death of actor and comedian Robin Williams? Tonight was definitely not the night, a lesson apparently not learned by Republican Party of Minnesota state secretary Chris Fields. Bluestem Prairie explains how Williams’ death led to a political Twitter war between Fields and Ellen C. Anderson, social media director of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party.

Anderson tweeted a tribute to Robin Williams from her personal account.

My cat's nickname is Nanu Nanu. The world is lucky Robin Williams was able to share his genius with so many.—
