Debunking Claims Linking Walz to Minnesota ShootingsSuspect Boelter was reappointed to a workforce board in 2019; no proof connects Governor Walz to the shootings or suspect's motives.
- Conservative figures quickly spread unfounded claims framing the suspect as a left-wing extremist targeting Democrats after the shootings.
- Vance Luther Boelter, the identified suspect, had been reappointed by Governor Walz to a workforce board in 2019 without personal ties to the governor.
- Governor Walz condemned the shootings as targeted political violence and stated no evidence links him to the attacks.
- Authorities revealed Boelter had a list of approximately 70 targets, including Democratic lawmakers and health care locations.
The Vice President candidate for the Democrat party is directly connected to a domestic terrorist, that is confirmed, the only question is whether Tim Walz himself ordered the political hit against a rival who voted against Walz’s plan to give free healthcare to illegals.— Mike Cernovich speculated in a post on X about the connections between Gov. Walz and the suspect.
