Suspect in Assassination of Former Minnesota House Speaker & Wounding of State Senator is Still at Large

This morning came news that former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman, and her husband had been assassinated at their home while Minnesota State Senator John Hoffman and his wife had been shot and wounded.

All were shot by a man evidently impersonating a police officer who has been identified as Vance Boelter. As of this writing, Boelter remains at large. Boelter was evidently anti-abortion and had a list of pro-choice targets mainly officials affiliated with the Minnesota's Democratic Farmer Labor (DFL) Party including Hortman and Hoffman as well as Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minnesota Democratic Senator Tina Smith. 

However, this didn't prevent MAGA from trying tie the shooter to Democrats as was the case with Laura Loomer due to the fact that Boelter was reappointed by Walz to the Governor's Workforce Development Board in 2019 while others noted that Boelter had "No Kings" flyers in his car. 

Perhaps Boelter wished to do harm to other Democrats who might have present at the "No Kings" rally. Somehow, in MAGA's twisted logic, Governor Walz is somehow responsible for unleashing an anti-abortion activist upon fellow Democrats. 

If you dislike an elected official, write a letter to the editor, attend a protest and/or vote them out of office. 

One cannot claim to be pro-life and then take upon oneself to extinguish it.
