After the shooting of two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses, conservative figures quickly alleged a connection between the suspect and the state's top Democrat, ignoring the lack of evidence. The suspect, Vance Luther Boelter, had a distant connection through a board appointment made by Governor Walz. Authorities found no motive associated with left-wing extremism, contradicting the influencers' claims. Governor Walz denounced the violence, highlighting the tragedy of the situation, while the investigation remained ongoing, with Boelter still at large and uncharged as of the report's publication.
The suspect was not politically motivated according to investigation, but certain conservative influencers quickly connected him to top Democrats without any substantial evidence.
Governor Walz's connection with the suspect stems from a routine board appointment rather than any personal acquaintance or implication in the shootings.
