MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (WKBT) -- U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) released a statement Saturday in the wake of a "politically motivated" shooting of Minnesota state lawmakers, which left State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband dead and injured State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette.

"Melissa Hortman was a good friend and we started in politics at the same time and I still remember the two of us going door to door in her first legislative campaign," Klobuchar stated. "She was a true public servant to the core, dedicating her life to serving Minnesotans with integrity and compassion. As Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives, she led efforts to protect women’s rights, invest in clean energy, and secure free school lunch for kids. She was beloved by her colleagues."

Klobuchar went on to thank law enforcement for working to protect residents and find the suspect responsible. She also echoed Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, calling the attack "an act of targeted political violence."

Prayers for the deceased and their family members.

Before anyone expresses sympathy, outrage or condolences, these people wanted you dead, your culture destroyed and your kids turned into trannies.

she led efforts to protect women’s rights,

Did she even know what a woman was? If so, which rights were they not afforded?

Yes politically motivated, but did she say that it was because the representative voted with the R’s and violence is how the D’s handle things they don’t like?

Those people have got to grow a thicker skin. Blacks use it all the time. So next time have a black read the passage and see what happens.

I’m told by a police source in Minnesota the suspect in the shootings of MN state lawmakers is Vance Luther Boelter.

It appears it is the same Boelter who was appointed to the Governor’s Workforce Development Board in 2019 by Gov. Tim Walz. He appointed to the Governor’s Workforce Development Council in 2016 by then-Gov. Mark Dayton.

Maybe it was more personal. An investigation into wrongdoing by perpetrator and they were involved.

Investigators also found “No Kings” protest flyers in the suspect’s vehicle, prompting authorities to cancel planned demonstrations across the state as a precautionary measure.

Reports indicate the shooter has been identified as Vance Luther Bolter. Bolter was appointed by Governor Walz to the Workforce Development Board in 2019 and by then-Governor Mark Dayton to the Workforce Development Council in 2016.

The suspect is a Timmy Walz appointee who targeted fellow democrats who voted against taxpayer-provided benefits for illegals.

Per Fox

“Boelter is reportedly the CEO of Red Lion Group, based in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Praetorian Guard Security Services, according to Minnesota Africans United’s website. “
