Who is Vance Boelter, the man wanted in the assassination of Melissa Hortman?
https://kstp.com ^ | June 14, 2025 | By KSTP Staff

Law enforcement sources told ABC News dozens of Minnesota Democrats were on a target list written by the alleged gunman. Walz, U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, U.S. Sen. Tina Smith and Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison were all on the list.

A source close to the investigation told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS the list included up to 70 names and targeted progressive leaders, elected officials and supporters of abortion rights.

‘ FR is going to look foolish if we keep making things up.’

Two decades late.

These are bipartisan, meaningless, low level, business advisory groups, it is not like he was working for Walz.

You can’t ignore his own words, no way in hell he is a Dem.

Maybe he was ripping them down. Maybe he was triggered by No Kings and decided to go kill some people he perceived as Kings in MN.

I’d like him to be a Dem, but the direct evidence is that he is a Republican, and some weak indirect evidence that he might be a Dem.

Does this guy look or sound like a Dem?

What I’m telling you is to stop crawling out on that limb, because it isn’t gonna hold.

Thanks for the link.

That will be difficult to spin, but let the spinning begin.

Distraction. No one knows who it was because he had a full face mask on. He DID however have an NGO under the blanket MAU NGO group in which Mark Ritchie was a party.

My guess is that some of the DFL people were going to testify to DOJ about the money laundering involved. Boelter was a party, but who knows if he actually did the deed.

I’m almost convinced Hortman’s treatment by DFL pushed her to testify with the other dude and this guy was either a patsy or pushed to do attack them.

BTW: these guys theyre interviewing who “knew Boelter” are in halfway houses. If you look, you can find what really reprehensible charges they’ve been indicted with.

I would like to know where he was “ordained”.

And he has no religious training from what I’ve read.

Possession of no kings flyers leans heavily to anti-Trump.

Was he distributing them? Was he grabbing them to throw them out? That can be spun both ways, but I don't know why he had them.

Waltz would have appointed people like this to federal roles had Kammy won.
Yes I know the VP technically can’t make appointments But he would have made it happen

People on FR have been making s#it up all day. By every indication the guy was motivated by abortion, which means his political beliefs were not left-wing. Incorrect information about the two legislators votes on the healthcare bill have been posted ad nauseum today but it’s yet to be established that had anything to do with the shooters motives.

Don’t believe me, just wait and see. But don’t post information that hasn’t been proven because it just feeds others to do the same.

No, it seemed he was running stores for decades and then suddenly took a bunch of goofy management and educational leadership courses (An Ed.D. is like a master’s in most other fields) and suddenly was given a security stipend by Walz and joined this MAU as Red Lion which was a consulting group for USA-Congo food trade.

My guess is a LOT of this government grant money to NGOs is being “bounced back” to MN DFL pols and Mark Ritchie DOES have his own NGO in this MAU group. Someone is trying to shut someone else up.

What words?

The 2 political figures that were 1st targeted (Hortman & Hoffman) had stepped off the Dem “plantation” by voting for the no-welfare for illegals bill/caucusing with Republicans. They were not well-known National figures, not “big cheeses” - why not go for Omar, Ellison, or set fire to a major abortion center first? I have a hard time buying that these 2 were chosen as random starting points in such a grandiose plan.

So, it seems (to me) these 2 most likely WERE the actual/only intended targets (the intention being removing them & also serving as a warning to others that might consider “straying”).

The over-reaching “manifesto” list and the No Kings flyers (which looked badly printed and with no real information, such as times or meeting places) are contradictory and convenient red herrings. Nothing of real meaning, just sowing confusion and allowing for different conclusions.

Hoffman is a staunch dem and leftist. The bill was already going to pass in the Senate, so they didn’t need his vote. They did need Hortman’s vote against in the House, and the DFL really seemed to have crushed her, but she voted for it with the republicans. Hoffman voted against it and is very pro immigrant.

This is why I believe this has to do with some kind of corruption testimony. Hoffman was about to testify and needed someone else, and Hortman had just had her a** kicked by her own party. I’m trying to figure the details out, but that’s the occams razor of it.

Oh I don’t think so either, but at the best, it’s him and money, at the worst, it’s something way worse.

Ok. You can’t answer my question.

Why are you propagandizing?

His background reads like he is a CIA plant.

My take is anything tying him to the GOP is a convenient story.

Thanks for that info. — so many loose threads and agendas, it’s hard to sift thru it all. Trying to get it all sorted out, but I still think these two politicians were the intended targets.

It reminds me of the attack on Pelosi’s husband ... just way too many contradictory reports and much confusion (to this day).

“The anti-Trump characterization comes from finding “No Kings” flyers in his car. “No Kings” is obviously anti-Trump. It’s a reasonable extrapolation.“

His roommate said he was a Trump supporter and had voted for Trump
