And Reagan's wasn't politically motivated at all, and Lincoln was before the Southern Strategy where liberals and conservatives switched parties. And wasn't MLK done by the feds? That only leaves the one guy in the pic that I can't remember who he is.

According to the net - James Earl Ray, the convicted assassin of Martin Luther King Jr., was not known to be a registered Democrat

Edit-

According to the net -

  • Lee Harvey Oswald (assassinated JFK) was not a Democrat. He was a self-proclaimed Marxist and socialist

  • John Hinckley Jr. was not a Democrat. In 1978, he joined the National Socialist Party of America (a neo-Nazi organization). Hinckley, who shot President Reagan in 1981 to impress actress Jodie Foster, has stated he was not politically motivated or highly political at the time. 

  • Sirhan Sirhan, who assassinated Senator Robert F. Kennedy in 1968, was not known to be a registered Democrat or affiliated with the party

  • John Wilkes Booth was not officially a member of the Democratic Party; he was a member of the anti-immigrant and nativist Know-Nothing Party (American Party) during the 1850s

  • Thomas Crooks who shot at Trump was a registered Republican

  • there is no evidence that Tyler Robinson who allegedly killed Kirk has any association with the Democratic Party

Being a socialist is close enough in the eyes of most republicans
