- Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz in 2019 reappointed Vance Boelter to a state board focused on Minnesota’s workforce. Boelter had first been appointed to the board by a prior governor.
- Boelter was named a suspect in the June 14 killing of state Rep. Melissa Hortman, a former Democratic speaker, and her husband Mark, and the shootings of state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette.
- Walz’s spokesperson said the governor had no relationship with Boelter. And there is no indication that Walz viewed Hortman or Hoffman as political rivals; he referred to Hortman as a dear friend.
Hours after the shooting of two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses, prominent conservative influencers spun unsubstantiated theories that the suspect was a left-wing extremist who targeted the Democratic-aligned leaders for voting against party lines, and did so with the blessing of the state’s top Democrat, Gov. Tim Walz.
These podcasters just want to stir up trouble and animosity against any liberal.
