Man arrested for killing Minnesota Democrat gave anti-LGBTQ+ speech in Africa
Briefly

Vance Boelter, accused of murdering Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, has a history of anti-LGBTQ+ remarks. Prior to the shooting, he was noted for his anti-LGBTQ+ speech given in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 2023. Arrested after a manhunt, court documents reveal he allegedly also targeted state Sen. Mark Hoffman. Boelter's rhetoric, steeped in Christian nationalism, reflects a troubling mindset that contributed to his violent outburst against political figures.
