If it wasn’t obvious before, alleged murderer Vance Boelter is an absolutely cracked nut. The question is, what did Democrats like Tim Walz know about the shooter before the public knew anything?
The assassination of Melissa and Mark Hortman, and the attempted murder of Mike, Yvette, and Hope Hoffman, has almost disappeared from the media. Granted, there is a lot happening in the world right now, but the murders of elected legislators, especially Democrats, should have been front page news for a long time. While the manhunt was on for the suspect, the story had to be covered. But once Boelter was identified, and his motivations and associations began to get closer scrutiny, the media began to lose interest. Why? You would think that a crazy man with a hit list that targeted Democrats and abortion clinics would continue to be a hot topic for a long time. However, once Boelter was actually captured, the story came to a sudden end nationally.
And now we have a better idea why the story has disappeared nationally. It was never about abortion – at least, not completely. Vance Boelter is more than a few screws loose. According to the Minnesota Star Tribune (local media, of course, being much closer and more invested in the story), Boelter believed that Governor Tim Walz wanted him to assassinate people – including Senator Amy Klobuchar. A letter addressed to the FBI, in which Boelter apparently confessed to murdering the Hortmans and shooting the Hoffmans, laid out his crazy in detail.
In a rambling, conspiratorial letter addressed to the FBI, alleged assassin Vance Boelter claimed Gov. Tim Walz instructed him to kill U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar so that Walz could run for the U.S. Senate, according to two people familiar with the contents of the letter.
